I'm attempting to install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a machine with Windows XP, and I was hoping to install it beside Windows and not wipe the whole hard drive clean. I read the installation instructions on the site. I loaded Ubuntu from a thumb drive. On load, I clicked the option to install, but when I get to the part of the instructions where I would expect it to let me choose to install Ubuntu alongside Windows, the option isn't there. I only get an option to erase the hard drive and start a fresh install, or "something else". Does anyone know what I can do here?

Thanks for any help for a new Ubuntu user.
