I have a PC running with windows 7 ultimate 64 bit version with 4 gig Ram. I have a 320 gig hard disk , in which I have allocated 120 gig for windows 7, 100 gig for NY files(named ashwin in windows) and rest 80-90 gig partitioned but empty NTFS partition.Now where do I install Ubuntu so that windows and data is safe.

I got the option install with windows I selected it , it then shows select drive(SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) -320.1 GB ATA WDC WD3200AAJS-6) and allocate driver by dragging the divider below which shows 66.5gb and 59.3 GB respectively. Which one do I go with?

I clicked advance partitioning it shows five devices:

device   , type, m.point ,size.(mb), used(mb).........
/dev/sda1, NTFS,          104 ,      35 (windows 7 loader)
/dev/sda2, NTFS,          104752,    23604
/dev/sda3, NTFS,          125829,    10161
/dev/sda5, NTFS,          89382,     3221

when I checked size in properties it showed

name of drive according to windows, 

            used.Gb,   free,   total.
ashwin,     10.2,      115.7,  125.8 
c drive,    23.6,      81.1,   104.8
new volume, 92.6mb,    89.3,   89.4

except mentioned everything in gigabytes.ignore the last dots. I want to install it in new volume or using that space how do I do it?

Explain in detail I'm a beginner.

    Delete the Empty NTFS partition using Windows. Ubuntu installation will find the empty space and create all the partition it needs there. – user68186 Aug 02 '13 at 15:41

  • The error on Windows boot sounds like a Windows problem. You may have to fix Windows boot or reinstall. I don't knows enough to help with that. When you fix Windows, it may mess up the Ubuntu boot loader called GRUB. Please search Ask Ubuntu and if you don't find the answer, ask a new question. – user68186 Aug 05 '13 at 16:21
