<font face="tahoma,sans-serif">I can't create a partition in that space either. Fedora says there is no space (always shows it as 0 megabytes). Ubuntu also refuses to allow me to do anything with the space, flagging it as "unusable". I've been installing Linux off and on for fifteen years. This is just something I haven't encountered before.<br>

</div>Again, you can't format unallocated space. You have to create a<br>
partition, then format the partition. Can you create a new partition? If<br>
not, how many partitions are there already?<br>
