1.first boot from live disc.(dont select install option)
2.after booting, use SYSTEM> INSTALL KALI
3.follow the gui to intsall .
4.during installation, the system will prompt you to connect to internet using your wifi or ethernet connection,
provide the credentials, as this is very important for kali to connect with server and install GRUB at the end of the installation,
if not it will throw an grub error.
hope this works for you guys

I lost hours with Grub before read this.

Now is ok. Thank you so much Zaiben!
