I'm having trouble figuring out if Ubuntu is attempting to install on the right drive.
Basically, this is a new laptop. It came with Windows 10 already installed and I don't want to change that, so I created a partition on disk so I can dual boot with Ubuntu.
I read and watched a few hot-to blogs/videos, but none seem to arrive at the screen I do. What happens is:
- I get into the BIOS and select the USB that has the Linux distribution I want to boot with.
- I press 'e' and enter the command 'nouveau.modest=0' after the 'quick splash' mention, or somesuch.
- It brings me to the Ubuntu installation wizard. I select my language and keyboard preference, then the Minimalist installation (I don't want any clutter of any kind as this boot serves a specific purpose).
- This is where my confusion begins. It asks me where I want to install the Ubuntu. There's what seems to be a list (with a +, - and 'Change' option just below) that's empty. When I press on one of those options, the wizard window simply closes. Furthermore, below that list (and its options), I see a folder 'dev/sda' in a drop-menu. There's no other option in that drop-menu.
I'm not sure whether I should just leave all that as is and continue with the installation. I'm not keen on clicking that 'Install Now' option as I don't want to screw with my Windows 10 install.
Anybody faced this before and has some advice?
