kubuntu - On which device do I install the bootloader when I want to dual boot?

I'm currently trying to install Kubuntu 15.04 alongside Windows 8.1 (already installed).
It's on a non-UEFI machine.


My partitions are as follows:



  • sda1 windows installation (500GB SSD)

  • sdb1 HDD just for data (1.9TB)

  • sdb2 very small partition that was already there don't know what it
    does (367MB)

  • sdb3 the partition I created for Kubuntu (100GB)


Now in the installation menu of Kubuntu where I do the partitioning and so on I also have to choose which device the boot loader gets installed on. Which one do I choose for that?


sda1 where my windows installation is or sdb3 where my Kubuntu installation will be?


The bootloader is for choosing which OS I want to boot in later right? But I have no idea where I have to install it.


Edit: This is what it looks like
