dual boot installation with wiin7 and ubuntu 12.0.4

To install ubuntu manually you need to specify the following partitions in order
/boot
Swap
Root
Home
Not really a fix but you could let ubunu install itself automatically and then resize the swap partition (which is not too hard). You might have missed something and the boot loader has not replaced the windows boot loader.
Hope this helps
