Your question is unclear, for start show the output ofparted -l. Generally the boot partition formatted as fat32 should contain bootloader and all kernels, and all systems should be on separate partitions formatted as ext4 (or other linux-like filesystem).

Your first partition (with fat32 fs) should have boot flag; msftdata is used exclusively for microsoft windows. You can change this with parted or even simpler gparted. Then create new partition with ext4 fs for new system. And then install ubuntu from liveusb. Oh, and please don't include pictures in posts, copy-paste text.

Welcome. The ubuntu installer fail to create the/partition. As sayed @jimmij , it is better to create the root partition from the existing OS.

I have boot flag and efi flag in the efi file system. My problem is when I try to install another operating system along with it. The installer says that it is unable to install grub menu.
