usually, you need at least two partitions: one for / and one for swap.

best is to setup first a small /boot partition. i'm sure somewhere

are some docs about it :)

You can do that from within the installer...or just let the installer create a "default layout".

So if the installer regocnizes the Windows installation and will configure grub appropriately I have all I need to know, but thanks anyway.
