rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2329 / 2 Years ago, mon, january 3, 2022, 1:49:48

I downloaded the Ubuntu-13.04-Desktop-i386.iso (794.00Mo) file and burned it into a DVD of 4.7GB with a very low speed of burning.

Anyway the OS was bootable when I put the DVD the Ubuntu Installer appears it asks to choose language , try Ubuntu and Install Ubuntu.I chose Install Ubuntu. An OS detection and formatting disc step appears and it gives me options, install Ubuntu with Windows 7 , replace windows by Ubuntu ..etc.I choose Install Ubuntu with Windows 7 and a partition appears;

I don't really understand how to proceed?

I have a hard disc partitioned to 2 parts C: and D: .

C: size is 39.0 GB

the D: is 35.4 GB

the free space on C: is 22GB/39GB

I have important files on D: drive.
Please how do I install Ubuntu 13.04 with Windows 7 without loosing D: files and without loosing Windows 7
My Windows is : Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit fr
Thank you very much for your help

There are two options, which are widely explain here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot#Install_Ubuntu

First, is the simplest.

If you take the another option, manual partitioning, possibly you've to learn more about partitioning and linux file systems (For this matter, you can have a look to this How to Partiotion manual).
But you'll be able to assign the size you want to each partitions components for ubuntu.
