I can't install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS alongside Windows 7 Professional 64bit, because I don't have the installation option. I set up the partitions as shown in this picture:
Help me please
This is how Ubuntu sees the HDD:

You're installing from the CD or using Wubi or something like that? – Alex Apr 20 '14 at 14:35

From what I see there you want to install Ubuntu on that 30 GB free space. Boot your PC from Ubuntu CD and choose something else when prompted to select partition. In the list click on your free space and then click the plus sign button to add a partition. Choose a size slightly larger than your RAM and select At the end option and use as Swap. Click Ok.
Now create the main partition by clicking the plus button again, but this time select ext4 filesystem and mount point as /. Check the Format box.
That's it. Click Install Now.
Here is a good tutorial.

In the list I have only free space 500GB. I'm afraid that if I will choose the new partition, then I remove the data. – j095 Apr 20 '14 at 15:18

@user271470 it must say 30 GB free space at the last item in the list, not 500 GB. That is your entire HDD. Yes you will lose data. Can you update your question with a photo of your screen? – Cornelius Apr 20 '14 at 15:21
