Does that mean that you (a) have a 26GB WIndows partition and the
rest of the disk as unpartitioned space, or that (b) you have a
80GB Windows partition occupying the whole drive and 26GB of
files on it?

Looks like option (b) is the right answer to the question above.
Unused space inside your Windows partition (or "drive" to use
the wrong and confusing Windows terminology) isn't free space
usable for Linux installation. You need unpartitioned free
space, created by shrinking the Windows partition.
