 200GB NTFS 
 200GB NTFS
 200GB NTFS 
 120GB NTFS 
 68GB Unallocated

I want to install Ubuntu 14.10 as dual boot with Windows 8.1 on 68GB partition. Can anyone let me know process and step need to be take care for this?

I have fresh installation of Windows 8.1 so no need for data backup.

Note : I have installed Win 8.1 on Legacy Boot mode. So I think I have to install Ubuntu in Legacy mode as well.

Windows 8 comes pre-installed in UEFI mode by default. Anyway, it's not that important. Lets make it a dual-boot in Legacy mode itself.
Step 1:
Get a (minimum)4GB pendrive and download Linux Ubuntu in your system. Now, download Universal USB Installer from the internet. Run that software and install your Ubuntu on the pendrive.
Step 2: After doing this step, note down all the drives that you have on your Windows OS with their allocated memory sizes and used capacity.
Do this much, and let me know.
