Choose hard disk - Ubuntu server manual partition

It's recommended to use different hard disk for Ubuntu if you are planning to dual boot it with other operating system. In this step, you have an option to choose which hard disk you are planning to put Ubuntu in. You'll see a FAT or NTFS formatted partition if you already have Windows in your computer. If you have created a free space in your hard disk reserved for Ubuntu, it will appear here. If not, choose hard disk to create a partition first.
We have chosen a whole hard disk as an example in this tutorial. Normally, people does not dual boot Ubuntu server. So, we are going to choose a hard disk and create a partition for Ubuntu server in the next step.

I am using a single ide hdd
I am using a single ide hdd where I have installed windows server 2008 on a first primary partition, windows server 2008 on a second primary partition and I wish to install ubuntu server on the third primary partition.
Ubuntu does not recognize the first two primary partitions as bootable since it misses seeing the operating systems on them.
With the above config, I would like to be able to dual boot my system so that I can switch between the OSes. I have tried various things but still haven't been able to do it.
How should I go about it?
Thanks
