Final Update >>> After two days of attempts to install, went back to USB with U18 on it, I'm happy to say that ubuntu is now installed on my dell insprion 5575 laptop, with no idea what has been stopping the installs.
I'm doing install and just started. Now at Installation Type window. I want to retain half of drive for Windows 10. What option should I select. It seems the default is; Erase Ubuntu 18.10 and reinstall. This is first install so what is there of Ubuntu to delete?
Update:. So I download ef Ubuntu 19, installing I think, it jumped right to language selection, then select specifically English, nothing yet about drives or partition, but I selected full install, I believe install with win removed, figured it may be easier to load Ubuntu then adjust hd then install win 10 later, any way going sloe. See what happens..
Update Day Two: Used two different download DVD's with U19 and a USB with U18 on it have all failed to install completely. What has been done is the HD has been erased of WIN10 (Newer Dell Inspirion 5575) verified when U18 was able to load and run from DVD. The U19 DVD after 3 tries gave same message about what I think said there was no info on DVD in order to do insatll and twice the error details were sent back to ubuntu. Also the DVDs were verified twice! My current situation is WIN10 is gone, ubuntu was set up HD, no version of ubuntu of U18 nor U19 are able to install on this laptop, but can run ubuntu off DVD. There are posts below which show HD info. Also there is an igmur link showing hd before being taken over by ubuntu.
