On your problem, we could use a screenshot or two from GParted, which is the GNOME Partition Editor.
Code:sudo apt-get -y install gparted

GNOME Screenshot will be under Menu - Utilities
After invoking GParted, you can use Screenshot to take a ... screenshot (surprised?), choose the Current Window option.
A piccie will be saved to eg /home/kari/Pictures, you can then upload the pic here, as you did with the new drive at #4 page 4, which means choose with the Attach files Fullsize over Thumbnail.
