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!

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!
