Screenshot did not work, but don't worry about that for now.
I'm assuming that the partition in red above is the one you're trying to install LL to. You don't have a whole lot of room to install LL to, but it should be enough to get you going. Just be careful not to try saving too many large files (eg. videos) there or it will fill up quickly.
* Boot with your live LL CD
* Open GParted again.
* Right-click the second partition (/dev/sda2) and choose "Delete". (If it won't let you, then you may have mounted the partition accidentally and you'll need to unmount it first. Rt-click, choose "Unmount"; then rt-click and choose "Delete".)
* Along top of GParted window, hit the "Apply" button to carry out the deletion (the arrow button under the word "Help").
* Close GParted once that is done.
Now you should be able to run the installer and it should give you the option to install "Alongside Windows".
Let us know how it goes.
P.s. If for some reason the above does not work, try again to post a screenshot of drive from GParted. Once screenshot is taken, rename the file so it has a simpler name (like "gparted-1.png"), then follow instructions in link I referred to before for uploading it to an image storage site and entering the resulting link here in the forum.
