partition list screenshot

I uninstalled Ubuntu recently and I want to reinstall it. Before I can reinstall it, I need to make some unallocated space. But I'm confused where was the past "ubuntu" came from?

  • Are you installing in addition to another operating system (Like Windows), or are you installing it as the only OS on the computer? – Dave May 04 '17 at 06:33
  • I am installing it as a dual boot. – Kyle Sun May 04 '17 at 06:38
  • I installed ubuntu in the past and I want to use that space and more. Because when I uninstalled ubuntu last time, I forgot to format the space that it consumed into a "windows type" – Kyle Sun May 04 '17 at 06:40
  • Why do you need unallocated space? Is the installer not able to partition the disk as you wish? Please do not post screenshots of terminal text. Paste it into your question directly. https://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/8713/why-do-people-post-screenshots-of-their-terminals – Melebius May 04 '17 at 06:43
  • I recommend you see this question or this one for basic information on disk partitioning. If you still have questions, you'll probably have to ask a new question with details about your current configuration, since your current question is very thin on details that are needed to give more than a generic answer. – Rod Smith May 04 '17 at 14:05
  • In terminal you can type sudo fdisk -l and that might give you the information you need (depending on how your removed Ubuntu). Otherwise, you'll need to boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB, start gparted. If you need help with gparted, take a current-window-only screenshot and edit it into your question and I'll take a look for you. – heynnema May 04 '17 at 16:16
