I just installed Ubuntu 14.0.4 using this Livewire guide and realized about halfway through the installer's screens that it hadn't asked me what partition I wanted to use (i had 460gig and 40gig on C, 1TB on D. I wanted it on the 40gig.) The back buttons wouldn't let me go far enough to fix this, so I kept clicking continue and booted into Ubuntu to see where I was.

I was on the 460gig partition, along with all of Windows 10. How can I undo this and install Ubuntu to the 40gig partition? (If you can help me revert this to the previous configuration, I think I should have used this guide to install instead.)

I don't know if it's related, but the boot selector did not boot Windows when it was selected; I had to go into the BIOS and change the order back to checking Windows MBR first.

I don't have a disk clone backup, but I also don't have any data on here to prevent a full erase and reinstall Windows if that's what it takes.

PS: This should be tagged re-installationfor repairing a previous installation but it kept throwing the "can't use installation tag" error.

Ubuntu would not have installed inside of your Windows partition, chances are it has partitioned the spare 40GB again and installed inside of that.

I am not sure why it did not pickup the Windows installation in the GRUB, but you could try following this answer to fix it
