I try to install Debian Jessie side by side Debian Wheezy and Windows 7
in an ext4 partition.
See below the partition table:

Partition réinstallation Windows
My computer is detected like an UEFI.
I install Debian Jessie with a manual partitioning and put / on
/dev/sda8.
During the installation the installer say to me that I do not have EFI
partition.
I continue the installation whithout it.
At the end I choose to install grub on /dev/sda the default option.
The installer say to me that's impossible to install grub.
This is the real message in french: This is a free
translation:
"Impossible d'installer Grub dans dummy" "Unable to install
GRUB into dummy"
l'exécution de "grub-install dummy " a échoué executing
"grub-install dummy" failed
Cette erreur est fatale. This error is
fatal.
To solve this problem I have 3 solutions.
The first:
- Go in the new system with the rescue-mode installer.
- Remove and purge grub-efi-amd64
- install grub-pc
- install grub on /dev/sda
- update-grub
reboot and it's ok
The second:
Install Jessie with the i386 installer.
Install ok
The fird:
Remove with fdisk the EFI partition on the USB-stick.
The installation begin like with legacy bios
Install OK
Note: there is no Secure-boot and others to enable or desable in the
bios menus.
