I've been trying to install Kubuntu 18.04 and I keep running into the same problem of the installer getting to the point where it needs to install grub and fails with the message:
Can't install grub on sda
After many hours of troubleshooting, I realized that I can get it to install if I reinstall Windows in non-EFI mode, however, this was causing some weird problems with my motherboard so it's no longer an option. I came to this conclusion via checking Disk Management on Windows. As seen in this image...
there is an efi partition. Whenever Kubuntu would install, there wouldn't be an efi partition. So I'm assuming my current Windows install is an UEFI based one. Also, when Windows is installed in UEFI mode, Disk Management initializes the other drives as GPT instead of MBR.
So my question would be what do I need to do (if it's possible) to install Kubuntu while keeping windows in UEFI mode?
Let me know if there is any more information that you need.

If you install Windows in UEFI mode, you will have to install Kubuntu also in UEFI mode. You should select the boot from "UEFI something USB" or "USB something UEFI" when you boot from the Live USB to install Kubuntu. Also make sure Fast Boot is disabled in Windows.

For better results disable any CSM/Legacy in UEFI settings. This assures you'll be booting and consequently installing in the correct UEFI mode.

Thanks, I have seen the UEFI USB option in the boot menu, so I will give that a try.
