Hi,

Thank you for your reply :)

As I have explained previously, I always like to plan and create my
partition 'before' doing anything else and I always like to have a full
control over everything and that is why, I always choose "Something else"
when I install any system based on Ubuntu :)

Anyway, I found GParted and thanks everyone for everything :D
