Ew... messy.  I hope someone better acquainted with the guts of the 
installer can augur those mysterious entrails.  Without context, I 
can't.

What were you doing when this happened?  Can you reproduce the problem 
on the same machine by repeating the exact same steps?  What does your 
existing partition table & file system layout look like?  Is this an 
NVMe drive?

Avoid these third-party image hosts.  They can vanish tomorrow, become 
malware vectors without warning, and almost certainly track users and 
execute JS without their consent already.

Prefer attaching screenshots directly to your e-mail, after shrinking 
them to at most a few KiB apiece (yours is ~230 KiB, which is perfect).

Kind regards,

T G-R
