If you want dual system just boot from ubuntu live cd and chose try without installing. So you will easy acces to full desktop environment available. Then press to install ubuntu and follow this instructions

Best choise is to make / ex4 primary partition with 20 gigs of amount space(as it says in official instruction 15 is enough) Then make swap partition with double amount size of your ram and finaly create /home ex4 partition there will be all files stored so make it big enough to have media and downloads.Then if you continue to install without mesing up windows drive system grub will detect your windows partition and put it in boot list

  • @polartenuchie I have to do this with Gpart or the disk management tool of windows itself? – user100165 Oct 23 '12 at 14:35
  • i reccomend using gparted to make free space, then create 3 partitions using free space 1) ex4 set it to be '/' for 20-30 gigs amount of space,2) /home with big amount of space you like -ex4 type, then 3)create linuxswap http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/04/manual-disk-partitioning-guide-for-ubuntu-11-04/ – polarkatenuchie Oct 23 '12 at 16:09
