I wanted to install 12.10, but also wanted to keep Windows 8, so I created another partition E: with 29GB space, and now I want to install Ubuntu on that partition is that possible in any way?

  • as far as i know, it depends on a few things. first off, is this new partition (E:) at the end of the disk, or the beginning? windows will generally see any drive beginning with a EXE-based partition as completely corrupt, and refuse to touch the drive. – acolyte Apr 02 '13 at 20:51
  • Yes, I did exactly that a couple of days ago. I didn't trust the automatic option so I chose to do it manually during installation, picked the unallocated partition and set it to ext4, made the mountpoint /, and reduced the size by 8GB. Then I made another partition (in the empty 8GB), set it to swap. Make sure you have a backup! It is very possible to screw it up by making a mistake. It put in a good boot loader and I could pick Win7 or Ubuntu during boot. So the answer is "yes". Is there something more specific you are asking? – doug65536 Apr 02 '13 at 20:57
