12.04 - Unable to Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7 (Legacy BIOS)

I am trying to install Ubuntu 12 / 14.04 (x86 & x64) alongside Windows 7.




I have a bootable USB stick and when I try to install Ubuntu there is no alongside Window` option neither the Windows partition is seen by Ubuntu in the something else option.



I know that many people had this problem and normally it's because of the partitions. However I checked and the partition is MBR and I have a Legacy BIOS (not UEFI).



I have made two extra partitions in Windows but when trying to install these don't appear (I tried to format them in NTFS, FAT32, swap, ext...) - it just appears a single partition with 500Gb free space, that corresponds to all disk.



The Question Is, How to Install Ubuntu along Windows?
