my 500 gb hdd has 5 partition. 4 among of them are of NTFS file system and partially occupied with data. another partition where i want to install ubuntu is of 52 gb. now i want to know in which file system i have to format that particular partition to install ubuntu. Please provide the link or step by step procedure of such type installing keeping in mind that i can not resize/move/shrink my NTFS partion at present as i have to recover some deleted files from that partition - however i will do the same later.
