I just bought the dell ultrabook xps 13, but I have some difficulties to install ubuntu 12.04.
Problem is about Hard-Disk partition.
Actually, the sda has already 4 part :
and I don't want delete the wrong part …
This is the information from windows :
sda1 = OEM (100% free according windows, 33MB used on 41MB according linux …)
sda2 = RECOVERY
sda3 = windows7
sda4 = standBy extended (hibernation) (100% free according windows, unknown according linux)
I think I should avoid to delete windows7 or RECOVERY, then it's between sda1 and sd4.
Fact is that I don't know what is OEM and hibernation seem pretty useful …
If you have an idea or informations, thanks for your help 🙂

OEM is the partition that stores the bootmanager of windows 7. This drive enables you to boot from restore partition. (This occurs when you insert recovery disk)
You are correct you should not delete sda2 or sda3.
Thing I would recommend.
SWAP
partition./
as mount point.NOTE: According to screenshot you are installing GRUB in sdb, make sure its correct
Here is the partition scheme of mine (dell xps 15)
