I just pulled down the daily ISO of focal. With a blank new drive, this is still a design gap of the Ubuntu / Xubuntu installer. You cannot tag a brand new partition as ntfs format and assign a Linux mount point to it.
I assume if Windows NTFS partitions were present on the drive, the Linux installer would still properly detect the NTFS partitions, allow mount points to be assigned to the ntfs partitions. It already was working that way six years ago when I opened this enhancement request ticket. Again, the use-case to request this enhancement would be to produce dual-boot Linux/Windows configurations. No progress / changes... please leave open to be addressed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1279557 Title: Support ntfs partition type for brand new blank hard drives To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1279557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
