I have installed Windows 8 and disabled secure boot. when trying to install Ubuntu in "something else" option of disk partition. It shows only one hard disk with full free space (500 GB) , no windows partition. the windows partition is 300 GB and free space is 200 GB. but during installation whole 500 GB is shown as free space...

Please help me. I will really appreciate.

Thanks

Use gparted to check and set the partitions the way you want them. Then proceed to run the Ubuntu installation choosing "Something else" as the option. Now specify the partition that you have set aside for your Ubuntu installation. Nothing else will be touched. When the install complete it'll automatically update grub and identify all your OS installations and present them at your boot menu.

Maybe this tutorial will help you. It describes step by step how to install Ubuntu 12.04 alongside Windows 7.

Have a nice day :)

Btw, this is my partition table for dual boot Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 7: enter image description here
