Dualboot Windows 10, Ubuntu 16.04, Dell XPS 15 Installation Problems
I've been trying to setup a dual boot dell xps 15 with both windows 10 and ubuntu 16.04. I purchased the computer recently, and I am using the official USB stick from canonical to install it. I've followed this guide step by step, using the section 'If you have a OEM-preinstalled copy of Windows 8 or later':
How to use manual partitioning during installation?
I am able to make it up to the final step, but when I click the install now button I am immediately hit with errno5 Input/Output, which recommends I clean my CD (Which I'm not using).
I should also mention that I've turned off Secure Boot in the UEFI options, and switched my computer to AHCI mode. I did this to circumvent the problem of the ubuntu installer not being able to see the free, unallocated space I made for it in my storage (it would give the error "Ubuntu needs 8.4 GB to install, you have 8.2 GB).
Thanks in advance to whomever responds to this!

You need to be installing in UEFI boot mode. But how large are you making / (root) partition. With new larger drives I suggest 25GB if saving data in separate /home or using a shared NTFS data partition for most data. Otherwise even larger /.

Thanks for your response! I am booting in UEFI mode, only with the secureboot option turned off. The root partition is 110 GB while the swap is 15 GB, which I figure should be big enough :)

Update:
I was able to solve the problem. What I did was to update the BIOS drivers to the most recent version, reinstall Ubuntu 16.04.1 to the USB, and follow the directions in the https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2317843 thread. Hope this helps someone!
