    hi guys . new here.
    hope this is right place to post.
    ive googled this but just wasnt sure .

    here is my current hard disk system:


    as you can see i have created 20gb for ubuntu installation . i am layman in partition systems . can just create or delete them . have no idea about their type etc.
    when i install ubuntu ( from bootable usb ) . and then i go in to "SOMETHING ELSE" during partition options it gives me a current situation of hard disk . i click free space create new partition . it gives me some options which i would like to understand if someone can help me.
    1. type for the new partition: I guess this is file system , this i fairly know . ubuntu will use ext3 and windows has fat32 ntfs eetc.
    2. new partition size: again no probs here
    3. Location for the new partition (beginning or end) : No idea............. please help what this is and what should i keep it as .
    4. Use as : no clue again . help
    5. Mount Point: again . no idea what to choose here and why.

    You need a graphical guide to do it.
