Hi, Not sure if I understand your difficulties, but in any case, if you want a dual-boot system, you need to get Windows installed first, and then when installing Ubuntu, make sure that you don't choose the partitioning option of "entire disk, or something similar. You want to use a pre-allocated space, and the partitioning steps should show you how much you have to choose from, and it will partition it for Linux, and then install a boot loader, namely Grub. You need Grub for a boot loader so you can choose which OS you want to boot from on start-up. HTH.
