I can't create a NTFS partition in Ubuntu

When I'm installing Ubuntu 12.04, I try to create a NTFS partition but I can't find it. There are FAT16, FAT32, ext... but not NTFS.

Since, You are in the installation process, I suggest you to boot into the Live Session, (Try Ubuntu).

Then press Super button to bring dash and type "gparted". After opening it, create NTFS partition using that tool.

Note, You don't need to install gparted in Live CD/USB. Gparted is already included in the Live session.

Try with "GParted"

sudo apt-get install gparted

and check your partitions, you can also create the NTFS partition.

We install Ubuntu on ext filesystems. You may make following partitions:

Partition 1 Ext3 or Ext4 mount point = "/"

Partition 2 (4GB?) Use as: swap

Installation should work fine.
