I tried installing Ubuntu 12.04 on my Lenovo U410 laptop. When I launch installation no partitions shows up.

The U410 has 2 HDDs. 32 GB SSD on /dev/sda and a 500 HDD on /dev/sdb

Ideally I would like to install Ubuntu on the 32GB SSD and keep Windows on the 500 GB one and not use the Intel Smart Response Technolog. I'm ok with flashing my drive and starting from scratch with this.

Or do you'll have any better suggestions on how to go about partitioning my drive and how to do it?

I have seen in some version of Ubuntu that instead of making a huge change to update to the latest kernel, they take some of the good stuff out of it, for the sake of stability and put it on a previous version. In this case, kernel 3.3 has seen some very good power management enhancements that are… >>> More
