I'm trying to install Ubuntu alongside Windows, but not within Windows. I want to use Grub as the bootloader instead of the Windows MBR. I was installing off the liveDVD for 15.04, the amd64 version.
When confronted with the partitioning screen, I realized I didn't really know what to partition. My /dev/sda2
partition is the biggest, at 734GB. But, that's labeled as Windows Recovery Environment.
Sorry for the crappy photo, but I don't know how to screenshot from this screen.
I also don't know which partition to put the bootloader on. The default is /dev/sda
, but it also has options to do /dev/sda
's 1-4.
I also don't know what I need in terms of a swap partition. Isn't this where the bootloader should be? How big does this partition need to be?
Thanks so much!
