I am doing a fresh installation of Ubuntu 12.10, and it says than I can install Ubuntu using the entire disk and create LVM "partitions", but my plan is to install Windows 7 using one of those LVM partitions for dual boot. Is this possible?

What is the right strategy to do this?

If you want to run Windows natively it would have understand LVM, and that seems to not be the case(1, 2).

I suppose you could allocate a virtual machine disk on a LVM partition, and run Windows inside the virtual machine.

However, if you are only concerned about using LVM in Ubuntu you can

install Windows on raw disk partitions

Install grub on one partitition (to boot) and LVM on another partition and allocate all remaining volumes from inside the LVM.
