Installing Ubuntu on 24GB mSSD Hardware Acceleration Cache

Question

I bought an HP ENVY TouchSmart 15t-j000 Quad Edition Notebook PC laptop with a 24GB mSSD customization. I want to install Ubuntu in a dual boot setup alongside the existing Windows 8 OS.

I've disabled Secure Boot and Intel Smart Response Technology, but when I try to install Ubuntu, I'm unable to identify any 24GB partition into which I can install / (the root partition).

Any kind of help would be highly appreciated.

Are you trying to do a dual boot or a single boot install? – karel Jul 12 '13 at 02:51 — karel, Jul 12 '13 at 02:51

Firstly if you are using 13.04 (or 12.10) then there's no need to disable secure boot - in fact Windows 8 won't boot with it disabled AFAIK. When you boot from the CD and go into Files, is the SSD shown there?
