How many posts before I can submit images ?

I have some great screenshots on this ...

As far as I know you should be able to do so now.  (Didn't know there was any kind of waiting period.)  Follow instructions on this page to post your screenshots:  https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/index...69#msg2469

Very strange!  Sure sounds to me like it's a drive with stray GPT data on it that FixParts should work on.  Can you try FixParts again just to be sure?

From your live LL, open a terminal and enter:
sudo parted -l
(last character is a lowercase letter "L".)

Copy/Paste the output back here for us to see.

Post a screenshot of GParted window and one of the installer's partitioning window also.

P.s.  You should not need to wipe out Windows to get LL installed, so hold off on that drastic measure.
