Topic: Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition.
I have tried searching but unable to find an exact solution to this issue.
I have input as many command outputs as I can. Although pc is working for me, I do not want to get into trouble later because of this issue. And i don't want to format my disk either. Gparted shows unallocated. From my Windows 7, I have no issues, and with MINI partition tool as well.
sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print
