[Bug 1784507] Re: Tried to install ubunta via DVD aside a windows installation on an additional SSD.

[Phillip Susi]

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted
the installer in EFI mode. A warning message prompted you that this
could be a problem and recommended performing a bios mode install
instead, but you chose not to. You either need to perform the bios mode
install, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system
partition to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you
choose the "use entire disk" guided install option.

Bug description:
  Tried to install ubunta via DVD aside a windows installation on an additional SSD. Maybe its good to know that there might be some fragments of older linux installations left anywhere (i can choose in the bootmenue after pressing F12 from manjaro, ubuntu, windows and HW stuff)
  Also the installationtool didn't recognized the installed windows OS. So i couldnt choose install ubuntu aside an existing Windows OS. I choosed manually the SSD and del. everything(?). Set the link of to the root "/" and choosed it to launch the installation.

  Hope you can work with that.
