I've got it in a dualboot with BackTrack.

I Love Linux.

Yeah, that's the only real good thing about Ubuntu is that it's popular therefore the support is better.

So BackTrack is A Ubuntu "version".

if i want to inssstall it to my Harddrive with windows7 is it dangerous?

so let me spicify this:

i had win7, then i got archlinux.
i made thos partitions you need etc during the instalation, when i was finished, my acer erecovery said i have to reset my PC. i didd that a few times, but just when i deleted arch it worked again.

i think it was because of GRUB.

so if i install ubuntu/Arch will i face the same problem? Huh

It's not dangerous, but to install it alongside Windows:

First we want to create some space for a Partition to store Linux onto:
1) Open start menu, Type in "Computer Management"
2) Click on the start menu item
3) In the left pane, under Storage, click Disk Management
4) In here you'll see a visual of your hard drive allocations, right click on your main one, and select Shrink Volume
Note: Don't do anything with System Reserved, that's a required partition for Windows.

5) Allocate the amount of space needed for your Backtrack partition to install backtrack on in MB/MegaBytes (Important)
6) Choose to shrink volume

You should end up with unallocated space now, so that you can later on create the partition to install Ubuntu on, when you go to install it.

Of course for this you want to make sure that your hard drive is big enough to support the required space for Backtrack, and Windows.

Now boot up Ubuntu, and install, when prompted for where to install, install the the newly created allocation that you took from your main hard drive, and format it into a Linux paritition for Ubuntu to be installed on (ext4).
