Some additional information: Yesterday I started the rescue system from the installation DVD. Using this I was able to successfully install GRUB. The new Linux system came up after the next boot. However the Windows system on the hard disk did not boot.
I repeated the installation procedere. This is the error message I got on the screen: !! Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk GRUB installation failed The 'grub-pc' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot. The syslog file is again in the appendix.
