i even shrink-ed my drive D to assigning for root, home and swap but there are bot shown to be chosen. where is the problem? how can i tell installer to assign the drives that i want?
Solution 1:
Your drive is partitioned as a "Dynamic Disk". Ubuntu can not be installed on a dynamic disk. You will need to convert the Ubuntu partitions to "basic partitions" in Windows before installing Ubuntu.
