I was installing ubuntu on this partition in and the power happened to go out with it was being formatted so I went back into gparted and wiped it but now I cant edit it in windows7. I cant expand other partitions either. The relevant options in the context menu are greyed out. How should I go about repairing this? When I try to create a new volume even with a size lower than whats available I get the error message seen in the fourth screenshot.
Run a chkdsk /r on the drive by opening a command prompt from start>type cmd in search menu and hit return and type in chkdsk /r in the box and follow the prompts and reboot when it says to. You may have some errors on the drive or bad sectors..

On an mbr disk, you can have a maximum of 3 primary partitions and 1 extended partition (within which you can have lots of logical volumes) which you already have, hence the error.
I suggest you use a 3rd party tool like partition wizard to pull the existing logical to the left to use the unallocated space.
