Re: Unique situation - need to instal ubuntu 11.04
So lets work on 1 and 2 first. And by the way, I do expect this to be merged with your other thread by a moderator.
The easiest thing for you to do is this. Use the same tool you used in windows to create the new partition for ubuntu to delete it. You will then have that space un-allocated. The boot into the ubuntu installation and you will have an option to install in the un-allocated space. Choose that and you won't have to make partition decisions. When asked where to install the boot loader, install it to sda where a is the first hard drive. If you have more than one hard disk, choose the drive you are installing ubuntu to but it sounds like you just have one drive.
Doing this will give you a dual boot installation of windows and ubuntu with Grub2 as the boot loader that will give you the choice of which to run. Do install with a wired connection to the internet. After the install, go into the additional drivers application and see if there is a driver listed for your wifi. If so choose to install it and re-boot. Then install all updates and you are good to go.
