(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:

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.
gdisk -l /dev/sda
say?gdisk
doesn't complain about the protective MBR at all. Anyway maybe you can try to create a new one withgdisk
(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...gdisk /dev/sda
->x
->n
->w
