When installing Ubuntu, is there a way you can choose which part of the disk you want your partition to be on? I am partitioning a 2TB HDD, giving 300GB to Ubuntu, however I don't want this partition in the middle of the HDD, as it is used as my storage drive for Windows.

While running the ubuntu installer, you are given two options:

  • Use entire harddisk
  • Manually configure partition table

Select the second option and layout the disk as you like. This works best if the disk is empty. Otherwise you could destroy existing files/partitions if it's not done correctly.

eg first partition 'ext4'(300gb), second partition 'linux swap'(4-12gb), third partition 'ntfs'(rest)
