I'm confused on what you're asking exactly

#

If you're expecting the partition types to be different, it may be because that is a MBR drive and not a GPT one, so the partition types are different

#

You have sda open in cfdisk there, so I'm not sure what you mean by wanting to install it on sda

oh like i have 2 physical drives 1 mbr and 1gpt so what should i do so i can set the type correctly do i have to change the mbr one to gpt?

#

sda is my secondary physical drive

#

even though you have single drive, you can format accordingly to OS need

#

like I have dual boot too
