Another method involves using Macrium Reflect to capture the recovery partition image, then employing GParted on any Linux Live USB to delete the partition and form a logical volume. This allows you to rebuild the partition within the logical volume. Restoring the image from Macrium Reflect should accomplish the goal. It may seem complicated, but when logical partitions aren't available, there are limited alternatives. Before creating the logical partition, it's wise to move data using GParted so the logical space appears as a large contiguous area. DISCLAIMER: Altering partitions carries risks of data loss, so always keep backups. No one is liable except you if issues arise. Based on experience, this approach usually works without major issues.
You removed the 450MB partition and received a partial installation, but you're having trouble installing GRUB. Try checking your bootloader settings or consulting the official documentation for your motherboard model. If issues persist, consider seeking further technical support.
