And as a FWIW: might want to get "Boot Repair Disk":

   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair

Be patient: there are times when it looks like nothing is happening and 
then the screen will update after "five minutes" ==> I didn't time but 
seemed like it.

With my just-finished project I had installed a SSD for the OS and using
the old HDD for general storage.  I think the problem was the BIOS is 
old -- looked up some old documentation and was from 2012.  I think the 
problem was a "GPT" (something like that) boot partition was needed and 
the Boot Repair Disk created this for me.  Fixed my problem where after 
the install kept going to a GRUB Repair prompt.
