Under Win 7 I created a new 100 GB disk partition (L:) to install Ubuntu 12.04. I then rebooted from the Ubuntu install CD, selected "Install side by side" and now I'm stuck. I end up at the Advanced Partitioning Tool and I do not know how to tell the installer to use the L: partition. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Thank you. I have successfully installed Ubuntu 12.04 alongside Win 7. However, now when I reboot the laptop it goes directly to Win 7 with no option to choose Ubuntu. Any thoughts on how to get the boot-time choice to show up? Thanks!

Choose the something else option while installing.
You can identify the L: partition by looking the sizes of the partitions.... Once you find it, click on change and choose the ext4 file system and / (root)
Ubuntu will format it with ext4 and will get installed there.... You also will have to decide the swap partition(which is optional) according to your RAM size
I did the same :)
Hope that helps...
Cheeeers!
