When do you get the error message, during installation or during booting an installed system?

then there is a mount opstion like / /booot what to do?Choose /, that is the root file system.

Ubuntu might also want some swap space, so it might be better to delete your 'E drive' and split it in a smallish swap partition (size depends on size of memory and type of computer (desktop/laptop) and the rest for the root partition.

3rd option can be to make three partitions; smallish one for swap, 25GB for the root partition and the rest for the home partition where you're data goes (like 'my documents' in windows). But it depends on the size of the 'E drive' what is the best option.
