Partitioning harddrive for installing Linux alongside win 7.

I'm planning on using two Linux OS's alongside win 7, one being Fedora KDE 30.

So to prepare for the install I partitioned my harddrive using the Minitool Partition Wizard. I have a 320 GB hdd, so I nade one partiotion about 80 GB forFedora and then left about 70 GB as unused, to later install another linux os on.

So first I was going to install Fedora KDE on the 80 GB partition. But it did not see it, instead it automatically went for the 70 GB part where I want to install Puppy Linux. It can't see the 80 GB partition. I tried to make it both unformated and Logical (as oposed to Primary) and then I tried to make it in the ext 4 format, But none of it worked.

How can I divide up the hdd so that I can first install the other linux OS on the smaller partition and then the Puppy Linux on the bigger 80 GB partition?
