First install: partitioning

[Twist O'Connor]

ok BEFORE you even install ubuntu, partiotion you disk with windows... cuase
windows has a partitioner....
i did this with vista but try things becuase it might be the same steps....
start menu>right click computer>manage>diskmanagement
then right click the main volume and shrink volume
then slect the size you want ubuntu to be
then when you install ubuntu it should have the slection to use any free
space... select that and whalla you got exactly what you want!
