MINT installer doesn't recognize partitions

Hi there, I have Windows8 Pro installed on my Laptop in (U?)EFI mode and want to add a MINT 15 KDE in dual boot.
However, when I boot from the DVD (iso downloaded on monday), the partitions listed for the two hard drives/SSD are not listed correctly. This means that I can't install MINT without risking to overwrite my Win8 OS. Here are some more Facts. Let me know if you Need more!
Hardware:
ASUS ZENBOOK⢠UX32VD (500GB hard drive + 24GB SSD)
I installed Win8 from scratch on the hard drive. The SSD should ideally have a SWAP for Linux and the rest as an NTFS Partition.
Here's a screenshot of the Win8 Partitioning tool that Shows how the drives are partitioned as well as the MINT installer screenshot. As you can see, the 500GB HDD does not have ist Windows Partitions recognized and listed.
How can I now install MINT on the 500GB HDD without corrupting the Win8 Partitions?
