Trying to install Ubuntu

[ChewbaccaBreath]

I'm trying to install Ubuntu and when I clicked something else to make Partitions there was 3 things of free space. One was like 130 MB or something and the other was like 10 MB. How do I add this free space to my Local Disk C:? I went in manage when you right click Computer on Windows 7 but the free space didn't show up. It only shows up on Ubuntu.

Can you get a screenshot? Probably hard to do that in the installer, but if you boot into a LiveCD and run gparted, you can take a screenshot there.

Umm I'll try it just says free space twice randomly.

Okay this is the picture, see there is two things of Free Space that are each 1 GB and SDA2 says Unknown so I don't know what that is.

Hmm I'm not totally sure. /dev/sda2 is perhaps being used for restore points? But I would definitely keep an eye on it to see if it grows larger. But 134MB isn't a large amount of space to worry about.

What about the two things of Free Space? On the top and bottom of the screen. I wanna get rid of those.

I don't know if that 1MB is relevant to Windows. Unlikely. You can try extending sda1 and sda3 respectively for 1MB. But there's definitely more risk and time worth of restructuring than it's worth. I mean 1MB is negligible.

It just is really bothering me and I really just want to get it to go away like I will reinstall Windows if I have to that's how bad I want it to go away.

Space is really cheap. It's more productive to buy a new drive instead if you're concerned about a few measly MB of space. The free space won't bug Linux, so I wouldn't worry about it.

I just dont get why its there.

 

[ksham]

I've never seen it before. Though, some people say that it's caused by Window's setting the partitions to Dynamic. I don't know if that is true so don't quote me on it.

I just formatted lol I wanted to dual boot anyways and now I'm all good and I'm not on UEFI anymore.
