I need help with this problem! I would like to install windows and ubuntu in the same hard disk. My plan was to have Windows on a partition, install ubuntu on another partition, one for ubuntu files and finally the largest partition to store all my data and shared with windows and ubuntu (NTFS) The problem arose when it reaches the limit allowed partitions because the "/boot" partition was created. now I have most of my hard disk unusable, as it will not create any partitions me with her. I could do to resolve this? I can merge it into the Windows partition to create the new partition?

my current partitioning scheme

/dev/sda1 - NTFS - /boot  - 200Mb
/dev/sda2 - NTFS - /Windows  - 95Gb
/dev/sda3 - ext4 - / - 14Gb
/dev/sda4 - ext4 - extended - 80Gb
/dev/sda5 - ext4 - /usr
/dev/sda6 - ext4 - /home
/dev/sda7 - linux-swap
Unassigned - 507 Gb

Thank you!

It looks like Ubuntu is already installed. And you have no separate /boot partition.

If Ubuntu works with this installation, you can leave it as it is.

If you boot from LiveCD, turn off swap by running

sudo swapoff -a

you will be able to expand /dev/sda4 right and create an NTFS partition inside of it.

You cannot create one more primary partition because you already have 4 of them. But there is no problem to create another logical partition.

But I recommend to remove a separate /usr partition and re-install Ubuntu using only /, /home and swap partitions.
