I have a 600GB hard disk which has three partitions C, D and E in Windows 7.

Windows 7 is installed on the C drive.

Now I want to install Ubuntu on E drive. How do I do this?

Is it a good idea to install with Wubi?

BTW, is it possible to use GNOME instead of the Unity?

You can use a Live-CD of Ubuntu to install it. In the partition-menu you have to format your drive E to a linux Filesystem like ext4 (standard).

Ubuntu will install a boot-loader (GRUB) and add your windows installation to it. At startup you can choose which OS you want to boot.

Wubi is possible but not necessary in your setup.
