I'm trying to install the latest version of Mint onto my computer and every time I do so I am halted with the message 'Failed to install grub on /dev/sda. This is a fatal error.' Now there are a few interesting parts to it. First of all, I have 4 disks in my computer and it will always report failure to install to /dev/sda despite me installing to /dev/sdc. Yes, it still fails if I unplug all the disks and the drive actually is /dev/sda. Second of all, when it prompts me to manually select a location to install grub, continue without it or abort the install, none of the options work. The gui buttons work by showing me that they're being pressed but nothing happens. The best I can do is shutdown/reboot but I cannot continue the installation under any circumstances once this error occurs. I am installing to a GPT formatted SSD. I have tried it as an install beside Windows, which is installed on it currently, and installing as a full drive partition. I'm at a loss here. No stack exchange threads seem to have my problem. Any help? I will post a screenshot if needed. I will also try a manual grub-install but I have a feeling that it wont help.
