Slave instal

This might be a very stupid question but here goes:

I've been trying to instal Ubuntu on my new laptop, but due to the new laptop being a UEFI system, grub is having problems after instal... I've found a guide that says I need to change the hard disk partition table to MSDOS or MBR...

From I gather this can't be done with the partitioning software on the instal disk, I have to use gParted. However the problem is that when I try to boot the instal disk in live mode, I don't get a GUI (only low-graphics mode) because the graphics card in the laptop is so new that it's not supported.

So here is my question:
Is there any way of using a different computer (my stationary) to instal Ubuntu on the laptop?

One additional detail however. The hard disk in my laptop is an ssd that don't seem to have any kind of SATA connection ports, it basicly looks like just another computer card. There is also a sticker on it, waring me that any guaranties will be void if I tried to remove the ssd...

I was hoping that there was a way of doing it with USB cables or a crossover cable or something...
