Im using Lenovo Yoga pro 2, 128GB SSD. I need to have ubuntu along side windows 8.1. My Cdrive is 98GB and made an unallocated space of 20GB to install ubuntu. while installing the partition table doesnt shows any drives(no C:/ ,, no backup) and shows 128gb as free space(that means full)!

enter image description here

  • If possible, could you upload a screenshot of the installation process at this point? Also, try the manual partitioning option and creating the partition in the installer, rather than before running it.

  • Did you turn off things in Windows like dynamic partitioning, raid, fastboot, etc? All those things will interfere with an install.

Try gparted (it's installed on the ubuntu install disk, you can just launch it from the dash).

If gparted sees your windows partition, just create your additional partition there and apply.

If it doesn't, you will have to fix it from the windows "administrative tools" (make sure the partitions are fine there, no exotic windows specific stuff).

If you can't fix your partitions neither using gparted, nor with the windows partitioning tool, then backup your data, make sure you have a windows installation media, and repartition your disk using gparted, then install windows in a partition and linux in the other.
