Only sdb shows up when installing 12.04 on new Dell inspiron 14z
- by Jan Korpegård
I got my brand new Dell Inspiron 14z yesterday, but failed to install Ubuntu. I can boot from a USB stick, and it works well. When trying to install, I confirm that the laptop is connected to the internet etc (as in the 2nd picture in the installation guide: How do I install Ubuntu?). When pressing "Continue" I do not get the question on installation type (alongside/replace/something else). Instead I get a window where I can select partitions:
// Picture removed due to low reputation...
The problem is that I can only select sdb in the drop drop down box, and I can do do nothing with sdb (like adding partitions etc).
The main disk (sda) is partitioned using Gparted the following way:
// Picture removed due to low reputation
As far as I understand from other threads on askubuntu, this should work...
What can I do to install Ubuntu alongside with Windows 7?
