I have a 600GB hard disk which has three partitions C, D and E in Windows 7.

Windows 7 is installed on the C drive.

Now I want to install Ubuntu on E drive. How do I do this?

Is it a good idea to install with Wubi?

BTW, is it possible to use GNOME instead of the Unity?

You can use a Live-CD of Ubuntu to install it. In the partition-menu you have to format your drive E to a linux Filesystem like ext4 (standard).

Ubuntu will install a boot-loader (GRUB) and add your windows installation to it. At startup you can choose which OS you want to boot.

Wubi is possible but not necessary in your setup.

  1. Delete your E disk
  2. if you have a u-disk,Download live-CD iso file, use the Win32DiskImager.exe tool to make a boot disk.
  3. set BIOS with u-disk 1 Priority。
  4. after power up ubuntu， click install ubuntu which on the desktop。
  5. In the partition-menu ,choose manaul setup.
    alway I use 10G to mount /, The rest of the disk to mount /$(you can name it yourself)
