I bought myself a new Laptop, the ASUS GL771JW with 250 GB M2 SSD drive and a 1 TB HDD.
Now I'd like to install Ubuntu 15.10 on it, but I get errors.
I downloaded the amd64 Ubuntu ISO and put it on a USB stick using sudo dd if=/home/myuser/ubuntu-15.10-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdd. Then I load the Live OS with Unity on it and start GParted, right away getting the error message:
Libparted Warning
The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes.
Cancel / Ignore
If I hit Cancel GParted only shows an unallocated 7.41 GB drive on /dev/sda which is my USB stick. I can as well select /dev/sdb which is my 1 TB HDD drive, but I cannot select my 250 GB M2 SSD drive.
If I hit Ignore GParted shows 4 partitions on a 29.65 GB drive on /dev/sda:
I have no idea where it gets that from and I miss the rest of the 250 GB drive.
Does anyone know that problem? I tried to find some useful settings within the ASUS BIOS / UEFI-BIOS, but wasn't too successful with it. What must I do to install Ubuntu on my laptop?
I had the same trouble with an NVMe disk. That technology is quite recent and the old version of GParted in Ubuntu repo couldn't see my SSD. I resolved creating a GParted live USB with the latest version of the software.
