No, I have Ubuntu install on a 40GB partition it's not a separate partition
Here's the results of sudo fdisk -l in a terminal
Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xfd03d783
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 4462 35840983+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 4463 60801 452543017+ 5 Extended

/dev/sda8 4463 9740 42395472 83 Linux
From the installed system
and how it looks in gParted sda8 is ubuntu the other one sda7 is BackTrack
sda5 is encrypted that's why it shows the caution icon so it's not a problem.
