    Sorry but there are like - thousands - of Ubuntu installation tutorials. I'll mark your question as a duplicate, please read the question I'll refer to. – Eduardo Cola Feb 16 '16 at 17:28
  • @EduardoCola - agreed. And installing without reading one is asking for data loss – Panther Feb 16 '16 at 18:01
  • When you created all these NTFS partitions, did it convert to dynamic partitions or do you have an extended partition with logical partitions. If dynamic you have to undo that first. Post this: sudo fdisk -lu and sudo parted -l from terminal in live installer. – oldfred Feb 16 '16 at 19:45

ubuntu does not use terminology such as C D ect. It uses /dev/sdxy. You need to understand linux partitioning before you go any further or you will likely not install to the correct place.

Install guide is here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall

and Installing Ubuntu Alongside a Pre-Installed Windows with UEFI

For partitioning explained see http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/35676/how-to-choose-a-partition-scheme-for-your-linux-pc/ or similar such as https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/partitioning

  • First you said drives are in /dev/sdxy. Then you posted a Linux Mint image (in Ask Ubuntu) with bars saying /dev/hdxy. That may be a bit confusing. – Eduardo Cola Feb 16 '16 at 18:06
