You have missed something. When it says "install alongside Windows",
that does not say or mean or imply anything about *where* on which
disk it's going to go. It just means it will leave Windows in place,
possibly resizing it, and make a new partition for Ubuntu.

Are each missing the same HDD, or different ones? If you cannot
distinguish them by size or similar, you can use smartctl to get the
serial number;
smartctl -a /dev/sda | head

presume you can get the same out of
