any solution because can't install ubuntu or other linux disto.

are dual booting 2 windows os (xp , win7 maybe) partition table looks work of windows installer.

anyway disk has non-standard partition table - there primary partition inside extended partition. gparted , parted (used installer) detects shows blank drive.

i've rearranged listing start order.
code:
/dev/sda1               1         192     1536000   27  unknown /dev/sda2   *         192        9982    78643371    7  hpfs/ntfs /dev/sda4            9983       38913   232388257+   5  extended /dev/sda5            9983       14014    32387008+   7  hpfs/ntfs /dev/sda6           14015       19627    45086391    7  hpfs/ntfs /dev/sda3           19628       20933    10490442+   7  hpfs/ntfs /dev/sda7           20934       30724    78646176    7  hpfs/ntfs /dev/sda8           30725       38913    65778111    7  hpfs/ntfs
don't know of graphical tools can change sda3 logical partition. sfdisk can not tool inexperienced.

know on sda3? because has logical partition on both sides of - may easiest way deal use testdisk , delete it. gparted see disk , can use space make logical partition linux install , 2nd logical partitionfor linux swap.
