There have been many threads regarding this problem but I have not been able to find a solution to this.
The main problem is that the Ubuntu installation wants to install GRUB in /dev/sda, even when /dev/sdb is selected as the installation drive. An easy fix to this is to disconnect any extra drive; however, in my case, it requires disassembling the laptop which I do not want to do; I have a second drive in a caddy.
When I load the Live USB, /dev/sda is usually the bootable usb drive, or sometimes the caddy.
Is there a way to specify which drive GRUB installs to in the Live USB. Or rename/swap /dev/sdb to /dev/sda?
