I would like to install ubuntu along with my already existing windows 7 OS.

enter image description here

The above image is my current partitions scheme. I have a 40 GB system partition and a 425 GB data partition. I would like to install Ubuntu in the data partition, without losing anything in that partition. Is this possible?

The ubuntu instalation disk can do this for you. It has an option to reduce de size of a partition. You can do it beforehand with the same application you were using for the screenshot if you wish. Some detailed instrucctions to do it with the ubuntu installer here

Thanks for the reply.. But the link you have provided is for resizing the partition in which windows is installed. But what i need is to resize the other partition. – varunit Jul 9 '11 at 7:43
The installer will show you both, just pick the one you need. From windows you can do it this way. This may help too. – Pablo Castellazzi Jul 9 '11 at 15:49
