Hey desh, can't you tell from the amount of storage?– leun4mCommented Apr 1, 2020 at 10:01

1Why don't you just delete the partition on the F drive, to obtain 230GB of "free space"? That way, when you start Linux installer, it'll offer to install your Linux distribution on this free space, format it the way it has to, etc... EDIT: that's provided there's indeed nothing on this drive and your computer doesn't boot on it...– user1019780Commented Apr 1, 2020 at 10:12

I can , but F drive has around 1 partition and around 240GB and the Local Disk C has around 512GB. But In Linux it show dev/sda/1 or dev/sda . So that is why I am wondering is there a sure fire way to know– deshCommented Apr 1, 2020 at 10:13

1Why does the drive you want to install Linux to have a file system. This would be clear if that isn’t the case. Your screenshots clearly identify each physical disk.– RamhoundCommented Apr 1, 2020 at 10:14

1When installing, you can leave alone the drive that says "Windows boot manager", that's where Windows is and you don't want to overwrite that just yet. My advice: in Windows, in Disk Management, right-click on the "Linux" drive, choose to delete the partition, confirm, and you'll have a well-sized free space to install Ubuntu on.– user1019780Commented Apr 1, 2020 at 10:24

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
