know ubuntu community known response questions

i suspect easus partition master has put illegal entry in partition table. commonest cause of gparted showing "unallocated" when there partitions present extended partition end boundary beyond end of physical drive - impossibility. unfortunately cannot see whether so, because have run fdisk -l option gives partition start , end figures in cylinders. need sector figures. run fdisk ubuntu terminal again time run:

code:

sudo fdisk -lu

please post output between [code] , [/code] tags clarity, not screenshot. can highlight terminal output mouse , right-click -> copy copy clipboard before pasting post.

if theory correct, fixed.
