    So my problem is

    After Detecting my drives
    Kali Linux drive partition where we choose where to install Kali it's not showing me my 146 GB unlocated partition rather then it's showing me a combination of
    My "C" "D" and "E" which is of 827 GB Drives on which if I tried to partition my window will be corrupted in simple it's showing me 4 primary Partition like this

    #1 primary 1.0 MB
    #2 primary 524 MB ..B..ntfs

    Well I asked you the same thing here but you didn't reply. In a partitioning method while installation, installer asks you which method do you want to choose:
    Guided-use entire disk
    Guided-use entire disk and choose LVM
    Guided-use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM
    Manual

    which one are you choosing?

    Assign a drive letter to your unallocated partition and see if it reads it separately. You can also temporarily remove the drive letter from your Local disk so that installer doesn't count them as one.

    I found that partitions above your C drive are not being counted as one so try deleting your unallocated partition and create a new one behind or above your C partition. The disk arrangement should look like:

    Unallocated
    C:
    E:
    G:
    Installer is counting C+E+G as one right? So it should read unallocated as different.

    How it is corrupted? Creating unallocated partition doesn't cause any harm.
