Sadly it has an Nvidia graphics card and so I believe originally I had tons of problems loading it up but once I added the nomodeset option it booted properly and everything is great, UNTIL I am ready to make my Ubuntu partition and instead of seeing 488 GB windows (NTFS) partition (my windoes 7) and my 443GB of unallocated space it just sees the whole TB drive... I don't want to get rid of windows but I am at a loss at how Ubuntu can't see anything... Is that because of nomodeset or what? I am so confused I have never had a problem installing all distros on any of my PC's but this one. If anyone has a clue let me know thanks! Also I am using the latest version of Ubuntu Desktop
Nomodset has nothing to do with your partitions. As posted you need to do everything from within windows should you decide to resize your windows partition to make room for Ubuntu before using the Ubuntu installer. A screenshot would help and be sure to backup anything important before doing anything.
