I am a Windows user. Currently I am switching to Ubuntu 18.04. My hard disk size is 1TB. When I am going to create partitions during Ubuntu installation I want to create 4 partitions like Windows does, such as:

Local disk(C) - size 200 GB
Local disk(D) - size 200 GB
local disk(E) - size 250 GB
local disk(F) - size 300 GB

How can I create these 4 partitions?

User @Jos gave already a good answer in his comment.

Just to clarify it further: it's true that Ubuntu has somewhat different partitioning model than Windows and thus doesn't use letters for partitions.
But you can freely place additional partitions (mount it) under /media/ directory - but of course, please reserve at least one partition for the Ubuntu needs (or alternatively two):

  1. one for Ubuntu itself under / - equivalent of C: in Win (20 or 30 GB would be enough)
  2. and the second for users directories /home - equivalent of D: (let's say 200 GB).

All remaining partitions you can place under /media/ directory. Sth like:

  1. /media/e
  2. /media/f
  3. /media/g

You can do it during the installation by choosing Something else, or even later, after the installation, with the mentioned GParted program.
