I have a new Dell 5000 that I am trying to install Ubuntu 18.04 on.
I freed up 320GB of space for Ubuntu and expected Ubuntu to do its thing, but I got an error message that I needed to partition this free space before I could install Ubuntu. I screwed up the partition. It failed. After a couple of more tries, the free space I created is one labelled "Unallocated" space and is not available for Ubuntu installation. I tried restoring the Win partition and then shrinking it again, but the space is still labeled unallocated.
Thoughts on how to get the free space back?
