executing grub-install dev/sda failed

Hi
I can not install Zorin OS. It showed executing 'grub-install dev/sda' failed, and I don't know what to do. Anyone can help?
My computer is Lenovo, and its boot mode is UEFI. I don't know where is wrong.

I install boot loader in sda10 or sda12. I tried both ,but it did not work.
thanks!

OK, not had much experience myself formatting to GPT method which is what is used in EFI systems. Firstly looking at the GNU/Linux partitions - they are all wrong. Linux swap, just like the swapfile in Windows should be at the end of a drive/be the last partition. Because GPT is in use unlimited number of partitions is possible. It might be that you need to enable BIOS GRUB which appears on my system but does not boot into anything, probably because I did not use GPT partitioning. Is SDA an SSD? I am somewhat bemused by all the Windows Data partitions. If it relates to where data is kept I would only have one data partition. That said, if I had to used a notebook with an SSD I would prefer it to come with a traditional HDD for data as SSD's once wiped cannot recover any data that is deleted in error, or use an external HDD.

See if this guide for a different Lenovo notebook helps you:

Before you start playing again, ensure you backup all your critical data and any programs that you installed after Windows 10 ran for first time.
