Hi. I have a 2012 HP Ultrabook. Want Windows8 and Ubuntu dual OSs. Windows8 came pre-installed with 5 partitions. My understanding is only a maximum of 4 inclusive of Ubuntu is OK. Below is a screen shot of 'Disk Management'. How should I proceed? I understand the concepts of reducing sizes of, and creating new partitions, but am scared of breaking Windows 8 by reconfiguring these preinstalled partitions.

The Ubuntu I'm planning on installing is 12.04.2. Just in case, some computer specs are below:
Thanks for having a look at helping me out!
