I used Unetbootin for windows to create the bootable USB. It gave the option do download and install the stable net-install iso which I did. I'm afraid I don't have the URL to that image. I'll try downloading the image myself and see what happens. <br>

GRUB ought to ask you which device to install to, so I don't know what's<br>
going on there. In most cases where GRUB mis-steps, it is possible to<br>
rescue the system afterwards by booting rescue media and reinstalling<br>
GRUB on the main drive.<br>
