    Backup

    Before going ahead, make sure that you have backed up all important data from the internal drive.

    Create a new partition table

    There might be problems because of some data (on the internal drive).

    • Boot from the Ubuntu live/install drive (USB or DVD). (Boot in UEFI mode, because you want to install in UEFI mode.)

    • Wipe the first mibibyte of the internal drive. You can do this manually and risky with dd or safer if you install mkusb.

    • Start gparted and create a new partition table. You can select both the standard MSDOS partition table and the modern GUID partition table, GPT. Particularly if it is a big drive, or you want to have many partitions, it is better with GPT.

    • Set up partitions if you wish. It is easier with gparted than with the installer.

    Start the installer

    • Start the installer and select automatic partitioning or manual partitioning 'Something else'.

    • In UEFI mode, the installer will create the EFI system partition (which is the UEFI bootloader) in the first drive, /dev/sda, automatically (no matter what you tell it to do).
