I already disabled Secure Boot in the UEFI and changed the boot order to get the PC to boot into the thumb drive Xubuntu. I can try and see if the new hard drive is recognized by Gparted. ![]() I am pretty sure there is a Gparted on the Xubuntu. And I just figured that the software would detect the new hard drive and install to that and not be confused by the presence of the thumb drive. I think I chose the option to "erase disk and install Xubuntu." There really is nowhere to install the Xubuntu other than on the hard drive or the USB live boot thumb drive itself. But no, I am not dual booting at this point. I have to check the PC serial number and contact the manufacturer to find out. He has no disks and the PC is maybe 7 years old. I am not sure if I can just reinstall the Windows using files burned onto the motherboard memory or whether I have to order disks or what. But I thought we would use Xubuntu on the actual hard drive until I figure out how to reinstall the old Windows. I am not sure whether my friend wants to go back to Windows 8.1 Pro that came with the PC or he wants to stay with Xubuntu. It is a friend's PC and we have been using the Xubuntu live boot usb with persistence as a spare until we could get the new hard drive in. It is a Samsung 860 EVO V-NAND SSD, 250GB, Model MZ-76E250. The drive is absolutely brand new, installed by me yesterday.
