when trying to install ubuntumate alongside windows10 It only appears to be able to wipe out the win10 from the 120gb ssd where it's installed, and I have 2 more discs available (a 120gb ssd, and an old 300gb HD), but they don't show up at the disc selection tab, maybe it's because they re formated in NTFS, how can I solve that?
don't think its the file system as Linux can read/write on NTFS

As long as the kernel can see the disks, there is hope.
ls -l /dev/disk/by-path
If you can't see the disks here, check if all your controllers are detected:
lspci |grep -i -f <( echo -e "sata\nssd" )
if not, all hope is lost (i.e. hardware problem)
P.S.
try to disable 'fastboot' and 'secureboot' on windows and see if that makes a difference for the linux installer.

I have multiple disks. I know most will say this is not needed, but when I install a new OS, I will physically unplug all other drives and then install to the desired disk, After installation, I plug the other drives in, next boot cycle the grub seems to fix itself and all is well. Now I never did this with one of the disks being Windows.
