However I've now got another issue in that the Ubuntu installer (24.04) is not seeing the Windows install
You don't indicate which version you are using but if it is a newer one (8 or newer) the default is to use hibernation so the system appears to boot faster. Mounting a hibernated system can cause data loss which is why Linux does not attempt to mount windows partitions. When you booted the Ubuntu USB previously, were you able to view the partitions? When you select the Try Ubuntu option and open a terminal, do you see correct output including the windows partitions from the commands below?
Code:
sudo fdisk -l
sudo parted -l
Do you have hibernation off in the windows power settings? Do you see the unallocated space on the drive?
