Trouble installing Xubuntu 14.04 alongside Windows 7
I wiped my disk clean and decided to dual boot Xubuntu 14.04 and Windows 7 in my laptop.
I started by installing Windows 7 and created two 50Gb partitions - one for each SO - and other ~200Gb partition for storage.
I went on installing Windows in one of the partitions and was hoping I could simply install Xubuntu in the remaining 50Gb partition.
The problem is, the live CD installer doesn't acknowledge the existence of the Windows install and also does not display the 50Gb partition I left for the Xubuntu install.
Also, if I choose the "something else" option, it shows my whole drive as not being partitioned (?):
When I run in live CD mode (actually from a USB pen), it auto mounts the storage partition, the Windows partition and the boot partition (I'm guessing created by Windows).
So, I was hoping someone could give me some pointers on how I could get the installer detecting the Windows install so I could dual-boot safely. I'm very new to Linux and this kind of operation scares me a bit because I don't want to damage my Windows 7 install - although it's backed up, I hate to have to "clean up" again... :)
EDIT:
I have been reading around about this and I know the Windows session was terminated correctly (ie, shut down). Also, the "Sistema reservado" (system reserved - I'm portuguese) partition in the image above shows the following:

When you didgdisk -l
you missed the/dev/sda
off the end. Anyway, yes that looks like a relevant question, it seems likely your system originally had a GPT partition, which you installed over with an MBR install of Windows. The MBR partitions appear to match your Windows screenshot so I would say go ahead and run fixparts, then make sure Windows still boots, then try to install Ubuntu again.

Had the same problem, disappeared after I used gparted to properly format partitions (root, swap, & home in an extended partition). I followed this dedoimedo's tutorial:
http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/dual-boot-windows-7-xubuntu.html
I also followed dedoimedo's advice not to take the automatic setup, but chose the 'something else' option.
Good luck!

When you did
gdisk -l
you missed the/dev/sda
off the end. Anyway, yes that looks like a relevant question, it seems likely your system originally had a GPT partition, which you installed over with an MBR install of Windows. The MBR partitions appear to match your Windows screenshot so I would say go ahead and run fixparts, then make sure Windows still boots, then try to install Ubuntu again.– bain
