i am new to ubuntu operating system. i installed ubuntu 12.04.3 through wubi but it did'nt work perfectly it could not get wifi access while it was present and was working on windows 7. 2nd it could'nt displayed my 100GB partition like computer has not such partition
so i decided to install 13.04 i downloaded the 32 bit version, created bootable usb, after the main settings it took me to the screen where I had to decide the action. but it said "replace windows 8" and "something else" first I have windows 7 not windows 8. 2nd after watching different tutorials I selected "something else" from the menu while I shrinked my 'C' drive and got 32GB space for ubuntu that I kept unallocated. that unallocated portion was shown with other partitions that while 'C' was separate only 2GB was free.
please first clear me this concept and the main thing is I want to install ubuntu on a separate drive besides 'C' such that if I ever encounter windows 7 problems and need to install a fresh copy of windows already installed ubuntu should not b effected of this formatted 'C' drive. totally ubuntu should have its own drive. thanks in advance
