Hopefully can let us know if is a dual boot scenario you are trying to do? From specs looks as if you have Windows 10 and are looking to do a dual boot. Not exactly sure what is going on with your situation and hope somebody else will able to pick up on it. I did want to add about Virtualbox not being the greatest when it comes to testing out OS's. I did a ton of testing with many Linux OS's before I settled in for Ultimate and moving to building my own Linux OS's. Was very ironic that many of the OS's I tested that ran like a dream in Virtualbox ran absolutely terrible on my PC after I installed the system. Ultimate(3.4 at the time I tested) ran absolutely horrible on Virtualbox. Virtualbox could not keep up with the video acceleration or how quickly programs would open. Of course by that time I understood different aspects of Ubuntu. I took the gamble, installed Ultimate 3.4 and it ran better than anything I ever saw. I know has to be something someone will figure out. To this day, is hard for me to understand that someone like TheeMahn actually exists. Very rare to find anyone with even half the expertise and ingenuity.
As you, I also own an Asus Laptop of course a few years older model R503U. It came with Windows8 and wow was that a terrible system. Sure, it did function as should, but buy buy buy more software does not work for those of us that are not wealthy. I quickly voided my warranty by installing one of my own OS's which had everything and the kitchen sink. Very, very satisfied with that laptop and still run it today. Of course is getting another upgrade to a new OS of mine. TheeMahn got me into building and boy, this is the life. I have found the hardest thing in life to do, is not build a few Linux OS's a year. It is very exciting as each one I build seems to improve and with each build, I learn more. Of course, best part is they are all tailored to my liking and no one else's. When it comes to diagnosing what is going wrong during installation, I am not the greatest either. Have you tried loading Ultimate 5.0 via usb? I know disk wise these days is virtually impossible since these systems have become so complex. Anyway, if you share more of what is going on, I know I will try my best to help and on here we have some of the greatest minds of Linux. I am amazed at the situations that have corrected and proud to be a part of this great forum always.
