I have an HP pavilion workstation, that came with windows 10 preinstalled, and I want to make it a dual boot with Linux. The problem is that even after doing all the following:



  • Disabled secure boot

  • Disabled windows fast start up

  • Shrunk the windows C volume as an unallocated space (even created a new separate volume)

I still get no option (partition) in the installer.



I tried viewing the partitions in gparted but only the USB flash in which I have the installation image is shown



I tried gdisk and got the following (931 GB correspond to the windows volume, the rest 200 I have no idea what they represent):
enter image description here



I should also mention that the machine has an M.2 drive too. But even with optane memory disabled, I get the same errors in the ubuntu installer.



Any idea how to fix this, and get ubuntu installed?

  • If you carefully read the whole text in your image post, you can see that there are several problem on your disk layout. You use a GPT tool while your disk use MBR. ALso it seems the 2nd partition overlaps the first one. Fix that before installing ubuntu
