I have a Dell XPS which had Ubuntu on it but it started playing up so booted from USB in the hope to install a fresh version but I now get the message saying
You need at least 8.6 GB disk space to install Ubuntu.
When I do fdisk I get the following
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l

Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Disk usage analyzer also doesn't recognise the drive on the laptop. When I try and boot into the laptop I get a load of varios errors before being dumped into BusyBox
Any suggestions on how to wipe it all and start from fresh? The BIOS seems to recognise it fine
When switching on the laptop (without USB), a screen about ACPI errors comes up but goes quickly into a Ubuntu loading screen (with 5 dots under the logo). After a few mins I get thrown into busybox (can't upload screenshots) but a few errors about:

in grub press "E" to edit the launch command. Change "quiet splash" to "no-splash" then boot. this will show the booting process and the error occuring. the ACPI errors are common with the new kernels, they can be ignored

We found that - as noted on the Dell forums - disabling system RAID and putting the HD into AHCI mode was sufficient to solve this problem.
