They are what are causing the problem. Dynamic partitions are a proprietary Microsoft format to which you can only install Windows - You cannot install Ubuntu on a drive with dynamic partition. Here is a link to a post which contains more information and some useful links.

As soon as I've posted, I'll edit your thread title to include the words dynamic partitions in order to attract those who may be able to help you further.
