**SOLVED**


What I want to do is dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 7 (which is already installed), and am wondering if I have to use the Ubuntu installer for windows to do this. I do not want to wipe my hard drive in order to install Ubuntu, and I need to install the 64-bit version. I'm wondering if I can choose which version to install if I use the Ubuntu installer for Windows. Should I just install it using a different method, or will I be given a choice on which version installs? Thank you for any help.

Never mind, it looks like the normal installer has an option to install alongside another operating system, I just didn't read through the page thoroughly enough.

Which version are you trying to install? If 10.04 you will be ok. If 10.10 I would not recommend using the "alongside" option. It is safer to choose the manual option and specify your partitions manually.
