ubuntu installation along side windows

with top saying vista instead of windows 7. here can select how space windows vista have , how ubuntu have. here can continue installation normal. on next boot prompt operating system boot (and should everytime).

note: following instructions if have 1 hard drive/ssd only. if have multiple , you'd install ubuntu on 1 of them , keep windows on other different set of directions.
