Ubuntu 14.04 Installation Type screen shows no partition for Dual Boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu 14.04LTS
I am having a problem doing this as the Ubuntu installer will not see any partitions except /dev/sda1 in the 3rd step when it asks for Installation Type:
EDIT from comments: In Windows 10, I shrinked current C partition used by Windows and made 40GB free for Ubuntu.
I followed number of articles and changed settings on Windows to disable Secure Boot and enable Legacy boot and that allowed me to boot from bootable USB with Ubuntu 14.04 on it.
Once I boot from USB, I get the menu to Test Ubuntu or Install it. I click on Test and that opens Ubuntu from where I can click on desktop M icon "Install Ubuntu". But that takes me only up to this step.
I have tried same with Ubuntu 15.10 (both are 64 bits as recommended for Windows 10).
Once in Test Ubuntu, here is what gdisk returns. Not sure if that can help though:
14.04 dual-boot windows-10

Have you considered resizing the partition with gparted? gdisk is reporting that sda1 ends at sector 30949375 and the last usable sector is 30949342, hence the warning regarding an overlap of 33.

A free partition is created on Widows 10 side as per numerous articles I found online for installing dual boot Win10/Ubuntu. In Windows 10, I shrinked current C partition used by Windows and made 40GB free for Ubuntu. I am not sure why gdisk is reporting that though, it is strange. I havent use gparted, did it from Windows 10. Here is the link I used (among number of others) everydaylinuxuser.com/2015/11/… Thanks

After spending over 3 decades supporting Windows I've learned to take Windows with a grain of salt. Would you be so kind as to edit your question and include a link to a screenshot of gparted showing the drive in question? Thank you.

Did you reinstall Windows in BIOS mode on a system that was UEFI? Windows only boots in BIOS mode from MBR(msdos) partitioned drives. And only in UEFI mode from gpt drives. But Windows does not correctly convert from gpt to MBR. So you have left over gpt data that confuses most Linux partition tools. You must remove gpt data or reinstall Windows in UEFI boot mode. You can use fixparts to remove gpt data. rodsbooks.com/fixparts

The first thing you should do is install windows 10. From there Using disk management you spit a portion of your harddrive and leave it as free space. Then with you efi bootable usb you run the linux install process. Make sure that the installer has launched in efi mode and not bios mode. To do this on the installation you can type [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS
If it launched in UEFI after you hit installation you should get the option to install Ubuntu alongside window.
So important things:
- Install Windows 10 first.
- Have a usb UEFI bootable with linux(I use rufus to make mine.)
- Using a partition tool, shrink your volume(I have 25gb for my linux.)
- Launch Linux and make you it booted in UEFI mode using [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS
- An option to install Ubuntu alongside windows should be present, just install.

I have Windows 10 installed. I split (shrinked) partition and made 40GB free for Ubuntu on Windows side (as per enswe.com/tutorial/dual-boot-ubuntu-fedora-windows-10), then I downloaded Ubuntu USB using Universal USB installer which number of articles recommend(enswe.com/tutorial/dual-boot-ubuntu-fedora-windows-10). Once I reboot from USB, I get option to Try Ubuntu and Install it. I tried both, either way, I see no partitions. Thanks,

Have you considered resizing the partition with gparted? gdisk is reporting that sda1 ends at sector 30949375 and the last usable sector is 30949342, hence the warning regarding an overlap of 33.

A free partition is created on Widows 10 side as per numerous articles I found online for installing dual boot Win10/Ubuntu. In Windows 10, I shrinked current C partition used by Windows and made 40GB free for Ubuntu. I am not sure why gdisk is reporting that though, it is strange. I havent use gparted, did it from Windows 10. Here is the link I used (among number of others) everydaylinuxuser.com/2015/11/… Thanks

After spending over 3 decades supporting Windows I've learned to take Windows with a grain of salt. Would you be so kind as to edit your question and include a link to a screenshot of gparted showing the drive in question? Thank you.

Did you reinstall Windows in BIOS mode on a system that was UEFI? Windows only boots in BIOS mode from MBR(msdos) partitioned drives. And only in UEFI mode from gpt drives. But Windows does not correctly convert from gpt to MBR. So you have left over gpt data that confuses most Linux partition tools. You must remove gpt data or reinstall Windows in UEFI boot mode. You can use fixparts to remove gpt data. rodsbooks.com/fixparts
