I'm trying to dual boot Ubuntu 14.10 on my computer. I have Windows 7 installed and shrunk my main partition to leave a roughly 250 Gb gap (Unallocated).
Partitioned as such:
- Recovery (20 GB)
- System Reserved (100 MB)
- Windows Main (1132.96 GB)
- Unallocated (244.14 GB)
I would post an image of my disk from Disk Management (on Windows) but I don't have enough "reputation".
I go and launch the liveCD and when I try to install, it doesn't give me an option to install alongside. When I try "something else" my partition table is completely empty.
I've been searching for a solution but can't find something that fits. I don't have more than four partitions, I'm not formatting the empty space, my hard drive is not dynamic, etc.
No idea what's wrong, any ideas?
