My Windows 10 crashed a few days back and I'm trying to install Ubuntu 16.04 on my system as the sole OS. These are the steps I'm following:
1) Creating Bootable USB for Ubuntu with GPT partition type through rufus.exe 2) Using GParted to do manual partition before installing. The partitions that I made are
- swap area (4 GB)
- root(/) - ext4 - (20 GB)
- /home - ext4 - (20 GB)
- FAT32 partition with boot and esp flag set and size 20 GB
3) Installing Ubuntu 16.04, going through all the steps. selecting 'something else' and selecting 'install now'.
While installing always get an error
Attempt to mount a filesystem with type ext4 in SCSI0 (0,0,0). partition at / failed." or same error for /boot/efi.
I tried a lot but, couldn't fix the problem. My HDD is GUID Partition format and it says that "its gonna fail soon".
Please let me know if anyone has the solution to this.
