    @JackE Please tell if you have any fix .

    As far as I got to know from the above conversation that I have to change HDD1 to HDD0 , So that my Linux installer detects the hard drive.

    PLEASE HELP :)

    Nitinn Does your BIOS information tab show both drives HDD0 & HDD1?

    @JackE yes it shows HDD0 and HDD1

    The Drive is listed on the HDD1 slot..

    This means the BIOS hardware only detects one bootable drive. And it has no free space available to install ubuntu.

    Sure. Use Windows Disk Management app to shrink the Windows partition on the existing boot drive. This creates an unallocated space on the drive for the Ubuntu partition.

    As you said…

    There is currently no UNallocated free space for the Linux partition on your boot drive C. All the free space is now allocated to the Windows.

    So you must shrink (eg UNalllocate), the free space in the Windows C partition. Select the C partition and perform the shrink procedure under the Action menuitem. Shrink the Windows partition by about 150GB UNallocated free space for installing the Linux partition.
