Ubuntu
ubiquity package

trying to install but I had to choose my drive and the partition

Asked by loopie289

I have two drives in my system, the selection wants to install on the same drive as my windows system or wipe it and install on the windows drive. I have a second drive that I want to install this software to.

If you unpartition the space you want to install Ubuntu to (which will destroy the data on it). You can then install to the freed space.

Can you help with this problem?
