5. go through the installation.- here my problem begins, it prompted me to patition a new disc, I proceeded.

it has automatically created a disc with 96GB memory. but intsallation was cancelled because it had problems with copying files from the disc. anyway Shut down my computer and opened windows, but some memory from a hard disc of my windows was missing, because the partition of ubuntu hard disc took some memory from my windows hard disc.

I couldn't get my hard disc's memory back, because i don't the solution to this Problem.

But I tried all things I know, And I found my own way to this.

1. Boot into Windows

4. A new window will open.

5. Double-click Storage from it and select the partitioned disc

6. Right click and select Delete.

7. The disc will be deleted. Now this disc will added to extended partition list.
