Re: Debian installer not finding free space

I wanted to thank everyone for the help on the "Debian Installation Issues"
thread. I got the installer to start up through some fiddling around with
settings that were discussed. I am actually not 100% sure which solution
solved the problem, but I am glad it worked out!
So, you can boot Windows and you can boot the Debian installer on USB a
flash drive -- good. I would write down the CMOS settings as they are
right now.
I have encountered a new problem, and decided to start a new thread due to
the large amount of messages already present on the previous thread.
I have 40 gb unallocated on my C drive currently. When I start up the
installer and get to the disk partitioning section, it cannot find the free
space in the "guided" section. Am I doing something wrong with the disk
management?
I took a screenshot of my disk management program to show you guys:

Boot the Debian installer and get to a recovery console prompt.
Run lsblk (8) and determine the device node for your ~500 GB drive (it
should be /dev/sda, but you should confirm this):
https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/util-linux/lsblk.8.en.html
# lsblk
Then run parted (8) to see how the disk is partitioned:
https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/parted/parted.8.en.html
# parted /dev/sda u s p free
Take a photograph of the screen with the two commands and their output,
upload, and reply with the URL.
