The partition you now have at /dev/sda3 needs removing with “d” followed by “3” and then “enter” again as before. You also need to repeat the delete step with “5” instead of “3” to remove the partition at /dev/sda5. Then you can redo steps 2 thru 4 after fixing step 2 which I also got wrong when I said to “accept the defaults”: you need to specify that you want it to create a “logical” partition rather than “primary” when it prompts you what type of partition to create. (I believe the prompt is "Primary/Logical?" where the response needs to be to type the word "logical" followed by enter.) -- Regards, The Honeymonster Daniel Llewellyn
