Re: Ubuntu install not recognizing Windows 7 presence
In this type of setup, usually both disks are set up in sort of a raid. I guess that's why it wasn't detected properly.
On top of that, it seems Disk1 already has the maximum 4 primary partitions created, so you can't create any more partitions.
You can create a set of recovery DVDs from the recovery software, after which you don't need partition #4 and can delete it and use that space.
But in any case you need to consider whether you will break the "connection" between the disks or not. From cases reported here, it seems you will not be able to install unless you break them up. But it might be different with your machine.
