I am a first time Ubuntu/Linux user and I am trying to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 10 on my Laptop. I am following this guide: http://dailylinuxuser.com/2015/11/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-alongside.html

I made my partition in Windows. Image attached. After I booted into Ubuntu using my installation USB, I began the installation but got stuck at the Installation Type screen. That image is here https://imgur.com/YgzJg8V (sorry, for some reason it wouldn't let me upload it). I think this means Ubuntu cannot see my hard drive but I'm not completely sure. What can I do to resolve this? Thanks!

You do not have what is normally considered the default partitions with a standard Windows UEFI install.
Microsoft suggested partitions including reserved partition for gpt & UEFI:

So how did you install Windows?
What brand/model system? Windows pre-installed or did you reinstall it?

What does this show from Live installer?
sudo parted -l

Is Windows fast start up off?

Fast Start up off (always on hibernation)
