    I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a spare partition on my x230 (which already has Win 7). I have done this plenty of times in the past on an x201 with no problems. However it wont work on my x230. Ubuntu doesn't recognize any operating system (when Win 7 is already present).

    I was wondering if this was because of the UEFI on the laptop? Have any other Lenovo owners had same problem and how did you fix it?
