So Gparted seems to correctly identify my drives and partitions but for some reason...

The actual installer does not.

The installer tells me that there is no prior OS installed (lie) and doesn't acknowledge my windows drive. It suggests using my terabyte data drive but doesn't automatically detect the free space I made for it on my Windows drive. So I select to specify the partitions manually and end up with this:

Anyone know what's going on? That last screenshot confuses me. Obviously somethings not right here. It's only detecting two out of my three hard drives (1 for OS, two other for data.) It seems to get my 1.5 TB drive info correct, but tells me that I have 250 GB free out of my 250 GB OS drive. Is there something I'm totally missing here?
EDIT:
Now that I look closer it seems to be telling me that I have a 500 GB stripe. That used to be true, but now isn't. I have three drives, two of which are exactly identical by model number. One dedicated to OS an the other for data. Could the installer think I have a RAID when really it's just two identical drives? These drives used to be striped in a RAID in ubuntu and windows before, but are now completely independent; could there be some residual boot data that's making the installer think it's still a RAID array?
