I have an old Sony Viao, updated to Win 10, and I am trying to dual boot Mint 20 or Mint 19.3.
Everything goes along nicely until I get to creating the Linux Partition.
I used the Win 10 Disk Management to shrink the main volume, no problems and it shows 11.62 GB as Unallocated. So far so good.
BUT, when I then boot Mint 20 or Min 19.3 (tried both) and get to the create root/swap/home section
Linux shows 12583 MB as unusable.
The Plus sign used to create the root/swap/home is grayed out.
What went wrong and now what do I do?

My facts: Clean install on 2 ssd drives. Mint 19.3 no swap and Mint 20 on second hdd no swap. I let the install decide.
