Hello Christopher -

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to a question in the support tracker.
This is more a proper partitioning issue, in which help will be available in the other venues.

On the support tracker.
Please boot the installer to "try ubuntu" mode and post back the output of terminal command
sudo parted -l
If it is your desire to manually set up the partitioning, We see here what you have done and if there is additional work entailed.

Be aware that the simple way to install ubuntu - that uses the entire disk drive - is to choose "erase disk and install ubuntu". A large drive and this may not be the "best" option.

Please advise on how you want to proceed to install ubuntu :)

best regards
Bashing-om
