It looks like you did a custom partitioning, and did not create a BIOS GRUB partition, which is what the error is complaining about. That partition is used for GPT disks to store GRUB2's core.img rather than stuffing it in unclaimed space. A bug should be filed against this error message IMO, because there is no "stage1" for GRUB2. And "target device" is about as redonkulous of a term as I've heard in 4 hours - what it's looking for is a partition, let's call it that. > Error... > > http://miketc.net/bootloader.jpg > > Partition Layout... > > http://miketc.net/partitions.jpg > For future reference, I'd resize these JPEGs, they don't need to be this huge, and post them somewhere where they download faster.
