Why do I have so many options in install? What do I pick?

Question

I have a windows 8 desktop and I'm trying to install Ubuntu. In my computer on windows I see two drives (C: for windows and D: empty)

When I try to install Ubuntu, there's a big list of options of which drive to pick. What do I pick?

In the first image, it's the list of options showing in the "Device for boot loader installation" menu. In the second image, it's showing the main window with the list of drives. What drive do I pick? I want to install Ubuntu on the D:.

You are installing in an Array of disks, probably. If you are confused up to this point is better to go back to the automatic installation method (the previous step) and use that. If you are using a pre-installed system, is probable that they used RAID to provide you of an SSD + HDD or 2 HDD. You must tread very carefully. Consulting the user manual is a must.

There is no automatic installation option, only erase hard disk or "something else". That's why I'm here in the first place. – user2900772 Jan 22 '14 at 20:36
Did you disabled fast boot in Windows? – Braiam Jan 22 '14 at 20:36
Yep. I've looked for a solution but nobody knows what's going on. – user2900772 Jan 22 '14 at 20:37
