Installing Ubuntu 16.04.1 on laptop. Correctly partitioned my hard drive (shrunk volume) for 60gb's. Used Rufus for transferring Ubuntu onto USB drive(chose iso image), which has a capacity of 4gb's. Boot into bios. I've tried so many combinations in here, legacy modes, uefi mode, safe boot mode enabled/disabled, ranking my usb stick higher then my windows boot, and when I get to the Ubuntu installation menu, I click install Ubuntu, it takes me to enter my wifi password, I hit next, then it says not enough room, "atleast 8gb's is needed and you have only 4gb available", so it seems like it is recognizing my usb drive as my hard drive, and won't recognize anything I partitioned. So confused and frustrated as I have never before had problems installing Ubuntu, any advice is appreciated.
Here are some more images: (I have one more of the security menu, but can only post 2 links at a time because my rep is <10, I'm sure I can comment it if someone wants to see what that set up looks like)
Choose Something else as the option in the installer and adjust your usage of the existing partitions accordingly. Without the output of
sudo fdisk -lI can't tell you much more.
