Formatting a hard drive for Ubuntu
I have a 4TB second drive on a Window 10 computer. I wanted to use 1TB for Ubuntu.
After spending 10 hours trying to partition that 1TB partition, I have had no luck at getting the Ubuntu USB drive to do the install. The real stopper was asking for the boot code partition. That it not listed in the install script. Any help would be appreciated.
