Oki, sorry for late reply. I recieved a replacement unit, because other unit was defective. First thing I notice is that the fdisk gives me a different result.
Code:

Second thing that I noticed is that in the BIOS there is a place where you can enable uefi. It is disabled right now and the legacy boot option is seleceted.
the discovery of the sda partition looks like this.
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print

here is my sfdisk

reports no sign of gpt. that might be due to the fact that on the first unit i received i enabled this option that helps windows boot faster, and i think it is through it that my partition was altered. will attempt the install again and report back.
