Tell us how grub fails?

What errors are you getting. At what point. What are the disk called,
and labelled at this point.

Seems likely to me it is trying to install to the wrong partition, or
the wrong disk.

I would skip dual boot (since it sounds like there is nothing important
on the laptop from what you've done so far) delete existing partitions
in the installer and give the whole disk to Debian and let it try its
best by itself.

Also check for daft antivirus bios settings, but these usually give more
obvious errors.
