When i click the option to install Ubuntu alongside windows 7 my system restarts and the dvd from which i am installing Trusty Tahr is ejected and then everything is to be started from the beginning.

I have used Ubuntu previously but i have never made a dual boot between Ubuntu and windows please help me to get rid of this issue

I have followed these steps but they didn't work: How to install Ubuntu 12.04 alongside Windows 7

    Look at this answer http://askubuntu.com/questions/343268/how-to-use-manual-partitioning-during-installation/343370#343370 and don't forget to make a backup before you change any partition. If you want to use hibernate, the swap size should be at least the ram size. – TuKsn May 06 '14 at 15:46
  • but would it be safe because i clearly remember last time i did the same thing to partition the hard drive and eventually lost everything – agha rehan abbas May 06 '14 at 18:16

    Absolutely save is nothing, you can make a backup of the whole disc for example with Clonezilla to an external drive. That allows you to restore everything including the partition table and the MBR. – TuKsn May 06 '14 at 18:24
  • i have four partitions in my hard disk is that the problem which is preventing me to install ubuntu and windows alongside each other – agha rehan abbas May 08 '14 at 03:28
  • Did you try the manual partitioning ? – TuKsn May 08 '14 at 08:38
