Boot into your live CD , select "Try Ubuntu". Search GParted Partition Editor in dash board, And free 100GB of space from your E drive. Then apply the changes.

Now click on install Ubuntu (which should be on your Desktop) and follow the Instructions given in the following link.

I think there is complete details in the given link for you to install Ubuntu alongside windows.

  • Is it okay if i dont make swap partition? – Aditya Vipin Jan 05 '16 at 09:42
  • I have 100gb of space.So please tell me what partitions i have to create according to this! – Aditya Vipin Jan 05 '16 at 09:43
  • Its is kinda not OK :P. Swap area is necessary for doing hibernation in Ubuntu. The splitting of 100GB is left to you. But as suggested Provide swap area grater than or equal to your RAM size. and give '/' some 60Gb.. and remaining to home. Once again It is your choice to give any amount of space. –  Jan 05 '16 at 09:47
