Just use the partition that you made under windows, reformat it with ext4 and assign it as /.

Thx!

So it nearly finished and then then the installation programm said:" f*** you, i dont want to install Grub and without it Ubuntu wont boot."

Then the programm crashed.

What is that?

I am using a 13.04 ISO which i downloaded through Unetbootin (programm which creates Bootable USB-Sticks)

Should I download the ISO (13.10) from the homepage and try it again or is somewhere else the error?

Hard to help you without the exact error message. I doubt that the installer insulted you. And yes, give 13.10 a try, probably has better UEFI support.

Ok!

Will try it with 13.10 and if this wild error appears again I will catch it with my camera!

UPDATE!

Got it working, but it is not under the OS, ist under the Boot-Able Devices.
