Problem: When doing a clean install of 18.04 via a Live USB on a Dell Latitude (which previously had Win7), no disk (volume) is recognized other than the USB itself. During Ubuntu install the error message displayed is: "You need at least 8,6 GB disk space to install Ubuntu. This computer only has 7.8 GB." (the latter refers to the 8 GB volume of the USB).
Which steps have been taken thusfar:
#1 Using Grub, running <grub>ls results in the following disks detected: (memdisk) (hd0) (hd1) (hd1, apple2), (hd1, apple 1), (hd1, msdos2). Running <grub> ls (hd0) indicates " no known file system is detected for" hd0. Running <grub>ls (hd1) indicates "filesystem type iso 9660 - label ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS amd64". In other words, the second hard drive hd1 already contains the ISO image of 18.04 but is not recognized.
#2. Using Gparted does not result in any other detectable drive other than the USB containing Gparted.
Question: how to ensure both drives of the laptop are recognized for Ubuntu 18.04 install ? The aim is a clean install of Ubuntu. No dual boot alongside Win 7, which has already been removed.
Any feed back and help is much appreciated, best Alex
