I have a laptop. In said laptop I have windows 8.1 and 4 partitions.

My partitions list are as follows:

  1. System Partition - Size:350 MB - simple driver

  2. Driver C (My windows 8.1) - Size:150 GB - simple driver

  3. Driver D - Size:390 GB - simple driver

  4. Driver E - Size:390 GB - simple driver

When I install Ubuntu on my laptop, my partitions are:

  1. Unknown - Size: 1 MB because I install Ubuntu with my flash.

  2. Unknown - Size: 350 MB

  3. sda1 - Size: 150 GB

  4. sda2 - Size: about 800 GB

I want install Ubuntu on driver E or D but I can not see my drive E or D and drive D and E are sda2.

In ubuntu, partitions are not named with alphabets like in windows. From what you have revealed, it seems that you rather have a single perhaps 1TB drive, that was split up into multiple partitions. This single drive shows up in ubuntu as /dev/sda, where /dev/sda1 will be the first partition, /dev/sda2 will be the second partition and so on...

It is risky to propose a new partitioning scheme without risking your data and existing windows installation, so I would advise you find someone (your local Linux user group perhaps?) or a friend who is a bit more familiar with this to assist you.

Otherwise, generally, the Live CD/USB Stick with automatic partitioning does a pretty good job of not messing you your system. You could give that a shot.
