According to your logs, sdc1 is a Windows NTFS partition, not an EFI system partition. If it were though, and you want to install the rest of the system to a different drive, then you need to choose manual partitioning and configure it yourself. Also your installation medium contains a mix of trusty, wily, and vivid. You need to format it and start clean when loading a new distro onto it.
