I downloaded the ISO for Linux Ubuntu onto my flash drive and used this tutorial  with universal USB installer to make Linux bootable from the flash drive.I used windows disk management to allocate plenty of space for a my Linux environment next to my windows one.I rebooted and hit F12 to get into the one time boot menu and found the USB listed there so I started Linux and clicked the install Linux icon.It gave me the language options and then the option to connect to the internet and then I got a screen that said Unable to install Linux on this machine. It requires 7 gigs and the machine is only 4. (paraphrasing)I opened gparted in the terminal to see if I could find the host machine's SSD but the only thing that came up was the USB drive. How can I get around this and install Ubuntu alongside windows? Normally that's the screen that would show up after the option to connect to WiFi... but I didn't get that. It's like it can't see the my machine.
I'm trying to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu but installer is unable to find drive
