I have a new Dell XPS 15 P31F, but when I try to install Ubuntu on it, the installer is unable to properly detect the Windows 8 file system on the laptop. I want to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8 preferably, though I'd also take installing it by itself and keeping my recovery partitions.
When I try to run the installer, the error I get is "No root filesystem detected. Please correct from the partitioning menu." I've opened up GParted to set up the file systems the correct way, but I'm not sure what to do.. Preferably I'd like to split the hard drive 50/50 between Ubuntu and Windows 8.
