I'm trying to install ubuntu on d partition i deleted, which now is "free space" but its giving me that error

so im guessing i have to click on add, what do what i click on? primary? beginning? end? ext 4 im guesing and which mount point?

im installing it on d portition which i deleted and is now free space, i have windows 7 on c, \

im so confused

Just to be sure, how many primary partitions are currently in use on your system? A screenshot of gparted window, or the disk management screen in Windows would clear it up, if you are unsure.

3 2 are for system restore and the third one is c, i deleted my d one

i want to know if I should add my "free space" that i got from d to c and just "install along other operating systems" on my c but is that even possible?

but how will i later add 4gb for "swap space" everything so confusing to me

primary/logical - choose logical
Beginning/end - choose beginning
file system - ext4
mount point - /

thats what i got, but then

what is boot loader? which one do i choose?

/dev/sda5 (one i just created or one of the 1-3 which is vista/7/7

there's also a dev/sda ata (500.1gb)
it also says you have no selected any partitions for use as a swap space

Are you using gparted at the moment? Please post a screenshot of your /dev/sda drive. Does your pc have just one hard drive?
