Help on dualboot Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 7 on HP Mini 200?

All I am trying to do is dualboot the latest Ubuntu and Windows 7 on my fairly new HP Mini 200. I am using this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK8X7_tYWmA for guidance. I have "partitioned" (set aside) 15GB of space to install Ubuntu.

Here is a link to a photo of the installation process I am currently stuck at.

I don't know what to do from here. Should I delete /dev/sda4 (HP Tools)?? If so, how??
Apparently it contains the BIOS part of the startup menu...

Any help will be very appreciated.

You need to use gparted and create an ext4 partition in that space you opened up, also there is no BIOS part of the disk, there is an MBR but that is not a partition and is not accessible from gparted or anything else. Once you have created the ext4 partition you restart the installation (sorry) and once you get to the screen you posted you select that partition, click "change" then set it as ext4, format, and set it as mount point /, then continue the installation following the prompts.
