I would like to boot ubuntu 16.04 alongside Windows 10 which I did a clean install of after deleting all partitions on my hard drive. I made a bootable USB stick with the iso using Universal USB Installer, and shrunk C drive for free space to install Ubuntu.

However when starting the installation I get no options to wipe the hard drive or choose"Something else", it goes straight to the hard drive partition screen which is blank. When viewing the partitions through gparted everything looks fine but still nothing shows up on the partition screen. How can i fix this?

Edit: System is UEFI, Windows 10 mode is also in UEFI. I turned fast startup off.

sudo parted -l output

    Is system UEFI or BIOS. Is Windows 10 install UEFI or BIOS? Post this: sudo parted -l Did you leave Windows fast startup on? http://askubuntu.com/questions/843153/ubuntu-16-showing-windows-10-partitions – oldfred Nov 22 '17 at 21:26
  • @oldfred I've edited the question. When entering sudo parted -1 it says the option -1 is invalid – Tara Nov 23 '17 at 16:34

    Please copy & paste commands. It is an el or small L, not 1. If you do not know what parameters work with a command run man and command : man parted – oldfred Nov 23 '17 at 23:49
  • @oldfred Oh okay. sorry. I edited the output in the question – Tara Nov 25 '17 at 03:36

    You have UEFI with gpt partitioning, so be sure to boot in UEFI mode to install Ubuntu in UEFI mode. Did you turn off fast start up as linked to in first response. That is the usual reason for partitions not seen. Or Windows may be corrupted an need chkdsk. – oldfred Nov 25 '17 at 04:43
  • @oldfred I did do everything mentioned, I ran chkdsk also. It stull doesn't show the hard drive partitions, it seems to show the USB drive partitions instead – Tara Nov 27 '17 at 00:20
  • Are you sure Windows fast start up is off? Link in first comment. – oldfred Nov 27 '17 at 04:32
