Went through the install selected grub replacement 500mb and booted back in and for some reason it still installed grub on windows.

I used clonezilla to copy my O/S to a USB HDD. The USB HDD was as it came, I did no formatting. Once the USB HDD had been mounted on the host computer and the host computer was powered down - on the next power on the USB HDD took over.

Perhaps this would work with SSDs.
