I am trying to install Ubuntu 18.04 alongside Windows on this new hard drive (not new but I never used it before).
Here's how I formatted the disk (from Windows disk management)
- Partition 1: 25GB
- Partition 2: 47.68 GB (this is where I want to install Ubuntu)
- Partition 3: .5 GB (Reserved)
- Partition 4: 49.43 GB (Windows 10 boot)
- Partition 5: 60GB
- Unallocated: 282 GB
(all are NTFS partitions)
However the Ubuntu install screen shows something like this:
- sdb1: 78GB (unknown)
- sdb2: 600MB (NTFS)
- sdb3: 53.1GB (NTFS)
- sdb4: 368.4GB (NTFS, according to Windows it is unallocated)
As you can see, it's nothing like what Windows shows.
Any ideas why is this happening?
Edit: The lsblk
command returns this:

lsblk
command from the Ubuntu live session (don’t forget to apply code formatting for pasted terminal text) and a screenshot of Windows disk management. I’m guessing you are using Dynamic volumes for Windows.sdb
seems to match your Windows layout. However, you seem to have another disk,sda
? Do Windows show this disk? Have you selected the right disk in the Ubuntu installer?lsblk
command shows the correct disk layout, but for some reason the installer doesn't.
