Step 1: Open up a terminal.
Really this is going to be your base of operations.
Step 2: Open up GParted.
In your terminal, type in "sudo gparted &" (no quotes)
Step 3: Create 3 primary partitions: EXT2 formatted at left of drive (1 GB in size), a 200 MB UNFORMATTED partition in slot 2, and an UNFORMATTED partition in slot 3 (any size you want, just leave some [min 10 GB] space for linux).
Right click unformatted space, I think the rest is self explanitory.
Step 4: Create an extended partition to take up the remaining space.
Same procedure as above, but select extended as opposed to primary.
Step 5: Inside the extended partition, create 2 logical partitions: a 4 GB linux-swap formatted partition at right, and the rest an EXT4 formatted partition (label it LINUX or something like that)
Similar procedure as above.
Step 6: Apply the changes.
Click the checkmark. This may take a while.
Step 7: Turn swap on.
In the list of partitions, right click the swap space and click swap on (or whatever it says).
Step 8: Install virtualbox and virtualbox-fuse
In the terminal, type in "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install virtualbox virtualbox-fuse".
Step 9: Make a new virtual machine
When it asks to make a virtual hard drive, select dynamic VDI, in the size menu click the folder icon next to name and select LINUX on the left and create it in there.
Step 10: Attach your ISO file for windows 7 to the virtual machine
In the main interface, hit settings, then storage, click the thing attached to the IDE drive, and select your ISO.
Step 11: Start the virtual machine and install windows 7 inside of it.
Wait for it to stop rebooting before you power off the machine.
Step 12: Mount virtual machine's VDI file to /mnt
run "sudo vdfuse -p -f [VDIFILE] /mnt"
Step 13: Copy Partition1 to the smaller of the two UNFORMATTED partitions.
run "sudo dd if=/mnt/Partition1 of=/dev/sda2" (assuming /dev/sda2 is the small one).
Step 14: Copy Partition2 to the larger of the two UNFORMATTED partitions.
run "sudo dd if=/mnt/Partition2 of=/dev/sda3" (assuming /dev/sda3 is the big one [thats NOT what she said]). THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE.
Step 15: Resize the NTFS filesystems.
run "sudo ntfsresize --force /dev/sda2 && sudo ntfsresize --force /dev/sda3" (replace /dev/sda2 & /dev/sda3 if they're different)
Step 16: Install ubuntu
When it asks you for formatting, do manual. The ext2 partition at the front, use it as an EXT2 filesystem as "/boot". The ext4 partition in the extended partition, use as EXT4 as "/".
Step 17: Reboot :D
