I finally installed Linux Mint.

I had to wipe out my entire disk for this OS to install in the C drive. all my personal files are lost now. fortunately, I took a backup of the imp ones in my ext hdd.

@Keanu I tried it thrice. got the same error every time. so switched to Linux Mint.

and when installing Mint, I said wipe out the disk and install it. it did not throw any error and installed successfully

@mjones44 wow! okay. thank you.
so I guess i should've said it was the partition and not the C-drive.
