Multiple errors on installing Ubuntu after Windows 10

Question

(Please even read the comments to understand better)

So let me start from the beginning.

I downloaded Ubuntu in my Windows 10 and burned it to the USB. When I restarted I saw boot options and selected Install Linux. I reached a step where I needed to format all the data. I closed the PC as it was very late night.

When I opened the PC next time it was showing

Boot device not found

After many attempts I knew that I had to install Linux so I started. I selected "Erase the disk" and got the following error:

So, I selected the "Something else" and I got these partitions:

I also formatted the disk through the Disks tool and now they are as follows:

/dev/sdb contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table.  However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should.  Perhaps it was corrupted -- possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT partition tables.  Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table.  Is this a GPT partition table?

command sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda gave the following result:

GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.8

Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING
PARTITIONS!!

Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): y
OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/sda.
yWarning: The kernel is still using the old partition table.
The new table will be used at the next reboot.
The operation has completed successfully.

Solution

I found out by playing little by the command given by @TomYan

i used sudo gdisk -> x -> z

it wiped the whole partition and rebooted (and i was on liveusb so i just clicked restart and then enter on later screen)

it restarted i clicked "Something else" clicked that partition made it logical then i made mount point / and clicked continue it warned me about swap but i continued and it successfully installed

after it restarted i added the sawp partition

What does gdisk -l /dev/sda say?

[DevUt]

@TomYan i updated the post

[Tom Yan]

Weird. gdisk doesn't complain about the protective MBR at all. Anyway maybe you can try to create a new one with gdisk (gdisk /dev/sda -> x -> n -> w) and see if GParted still complains about it. I wonder why your EFI System Partition (EF00) is formatted as NTFS with a label of "WINRE" too...

[DevUt]

@TomYan its the windows 10 recovery partition

[DevUt]

@TomYan can u give me the whole command as im a noob

[Tom Yan]

I already did...gdisk /dev/sda -> x -> n -> w

[Tom Yan]

You should probably format the first partition to FAT32 if you want UEFI boot.

[DevUt]

@TomYan could u please tell me how the partition table should be

[DevUt]

@TomYan this is the result sudo gdisk /dev/sda -> x -> n -> w Usage: gdisk [-l] device_file

[Tom Yan]

I don't mean you should enter it as a whole line...gdisk is interactive...I mean run gdisk /dev/sda, press enter, type x, press enter...and so on

[DevUt]

@TomYan could u tell how the partition table should be

[Tom Yan]

The partition table is fine. It's the protective MBR (according to GParted), I am not sure what is exactly wrong with it

[DevUt]

@see the new edit

[Tom Yan]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

[Tom Yan]

Try to reboot and see if GParted still complains

[DevUt]

@TomYan could u please tell how should be the partition table( here, i mean where this specific pints like /boot / should be there)

[DevUt]

@TomYan after running that command gparted still complains y? i think cuz im running from usb thats y and not able to make a partition table

So is your problem fixed to your satisfaction? If so, accept your own answer. If not, please clarify what's still giving you trouble.
