I tried to install ubuntu 19.04 in my friend laptop. His laptop is lenovo g580 with 4gb ram. I have created a free disk partition of 280gb.photo from windows disk management

But when i try to install ubuntu in his laptop i get to see no partition available for installing. So i got to check the gparted which shows as From gparted

I dont know what to do now. I have serched for the internet where i cannot find a reasonable solution. So what should i do ?

PLAN A:

Back up everything he has then verify it. Twice. You don't want to lose his data.

Collect his Windows 10 recovery / installation media and all media required to reinstall his apps. Also collect his installation keys.

Convert the Dynamic Disk to Basic Disks.

Then you can install Ubuntu.

PLAN B:

Or, get a physically small USB 3.0 USB drive and make a Lubuntu 19.04 LiveUSB with Persistance. I say Lubuntu because it's faster with small memory. Put in in one of his USB 3 ports and he can boot from it, read from, and write to NTFS, and get an idea what Linux is all about.
