A friend would like to use Ubuntu 14-4 or 15-10, but the OS on his laptop in Windows 10. When I put the ISO from one or the other in his dvd-drive, it starts up, but after a short while Windows overrides it. I want to install Ubuntu without Windows. I can not find any solution for this problem, also because I'm not used to Windows. I did take the hard-drive out of the laptop and connected it with my pc with a usb-tool. It appeared, that the drive can not be opened with anything, so I can not delete the files on it.
Please tell me how to proceed.
