I have tried to install Ubuntu 14.04.4 using a live USB, but GParted and the Ubuntu installation screen does not list any partitions (only lists the drives as sda, sdb, and sdc) and shows my 2 SSDs and 1 HDD as unallocated. I have tried looking at different posts on Ask Ubuntu, but none of them have helped. Any help would be great.
- My Laptop Details:
- sda is a M.2 SSD with Windows 7 installed
- sdb is a M.2 SSD with Windows 10 installed
- sdc is a HDD with 2 partitions
- Partition containing data
- Partition where I wish to install Ubuntu
My Paritions from Disk Management view on Windows 10
I installed Windows 7 first, then installed Windows 10. Now I wish to triple boot with Ubuntu and I do not mind the GRUB boot loader but would prefer the Windows boot loader.
I tried running the sudo fdisk -lu command, but I am not sure how to interpret the data

Other things worth mentioning
- I previously had a RAID 0 with my 2 M.2 SSDs however, I have wiped my drives and reinstalled operating systems on it about 2 times since then
- I once had Ubuntu installed on this computer, but I wiped my drives and installed other operating systems since then
Any help would be great! Thanks.
