So effectively i am using Windows Bootloader to boot into either of them. Working perfectly. As i already had 4 primary partition on HDD, i converted one of that (NTFS-Windows 500 GB) to Logical using EaseUs Partition, so that around 70GB of uncollected space on HDD could be used. NOTE: Before that the 500 GB partition was Primary & i was able to see all partition in Gparted. "What i mean to say is all was working properly". The problem (i.e. after conv. of primary to logical) is i am getting this message after starting Gparted & shows entire partition as Unallocated.

I know there might be duplicate for this at "Gparted Error" (that was bug probably & was for old version of Ubuntu 13.04) & "fdisk error" Also, if there is any chance that both errors are related or complementary to

When I get to the stage where I manually set the partitions, the installer says "unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition" for every new partition I create. Trying to continue the process beyond this point just brings up more errors. I have tried using the gparted from another livecd to create free space, and selecting the option "install using available free space" but the results are the same. I read on the release notes that the alpha/release candidate could bring such an error, and that it should be fixed in the final release. I double checked the md5 checksum of the download, checked the cd for defects, and everything seems to be ok.... What can I do?

IMHO, it's a GParted bug. I recommend you partition using fdisk (or gdisk for GPT disks) instead. You can do this from an emergency disc, such as System Rescue CD or PartedMagic. Once you create your partitions, you'll need to create filesystems on them. In theory, you should be able to do this with the installer, but I don't know how persistent the bug
between partition editing software and partition management software? There is no difference. GParted was originally conceived as partition editing software but there are http://gparted.org/faq.php many other names that encompass the same or similar functionality including: Partition Management, Partition Manager, Partition Editing, Partition Editors, and Partitioning Software. 3: Is GParted really free? Yes. You do not have to pay money to use GParted. You have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve GParted. GParted is free software. 4: What is the difference between error unable GParted and GParted Live? GParted is the partition editor application. GParted Live is a small bootable GNU/Linux distribution that contains the partition editor application. 5: What are the dependencies of GParted? You will need Parted >= 1.7.1 and Gtkmm >= 2.8.x Get Parted from http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/ and Gtkmm from http://gtkmm.org/ Also, several file systems are supported through their native tools. See the features error unable to page for more information on these tools. For a more detailed list of package dependencies, see the "Building from Source" section of the README file. 6: Is it safe? Short answer: Yes, it is safe :) By using the official tools for each file system and performing extensive checks before any actual operation I think GParted is as safe as it can/should be. Of course you have to realize I cannot give any guarantees, so you should probably make a backup of important data before toying with your partitions. NOTE: If you move a partition that is used in the operating system boot process (for example the C: drive in Windows), then the operating system might fail to boot. To fix this problem you will need to repair the boot configuration. See FAQ #13 for Linux/GRUB. See FAQs #14, #15, and #16 for Windows. See FAQ #21 for Mac OS X. 7: Is there a maximum to the amount of operations in the list? Nope, that is, not one an ordinary human being will ever reach. I myself tested it with
