Which is why I came here seeking help. The partition figures I posted
came from the Ubuntu installer screen. Earlier when I had Ubuntu
running from the live dvd I looked at it with gpartd and all the
partitions I listed where displayed next to each other across the top of
the screen.
My goal is to leave Windows 8 on the disk, not setup and unactivated so
if I need it in the future I could just set it up. Maybe that is not
even possible, I couldn't find any info about that by googling, but then
I am a poor googler.
