I just got a brand new desktop a dell inspiron 3670 i5 with a ssd. Im having a real hard time installing ubuntu. Tried making a USB of 18.04lts and that failed on multiple levels to install. I created a 40gb partition in windows 10 disk management but its ntfs or exFAT only no option for ext4. The ubuntu installer isn't giving me any options for install alongside windows. I have fast boot and secure boot turned off in bios. I am now trying to install from a dvd of 18.04 and i keep getting a message that ubuntu requires atleast 29 gb of free space and this computer has 0 bytes available. For some reason its not seeing the hard drive. Even when i try ubuntu and run gparted it only sees the dvd. Ive spent many frustrating hours on this and need help please!
Ive got a 39gb unallocated partition, no volume. I never get to the point in the installer where I can chose partitions to install to, all I get is the 0 bytes available message after choosing my network. Ive tried this with 18.04lts and 19.04 as well.
