Hello, this is what I'm trying to do.
I have 1 SSD that is for my main Windows installation and a game here or there. This is only 128 GB so space is precious.
I have a 2nd drive, 500 GB, that I moved my User settings and other applications. I'd like to run Ubuntu in a virtual machine (not dual-boot) and install it on this hard drive.
I have created the virtual machine for Ubuntu, allocated around 50 GB for the installation and fired it up. I'm presented to try Ubuntu or install Ubuntu.
OK, I want to install, then I am presented with two more options. Erase disk and install Ubuntu or Something else. Now I don't want to format my 2nd drive as I have Windows User data on it and other application data.
When I try to create partitions myself and Install Now, a message "No root file system is defined" is displayed.
How can I install Ubuntu on the 2nd drive (not dual-boot) and keep the Windows data on it?
Now that I think about it, it came to me just as I was typing this, the option "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" only refers to the virtual disk since I am running it via the Virtual Machine, so this option would still keep my Windows and other data on this hard drive safe, correct?
