Pay careful attention to the partition you select. If the partition you're going to install to is say, 64 GB in size, the installer will probably list it as something like "sda3......65536 MB". The "sda#" labels can differ and be somewhat confusing, so just go by the partition size. If it's 100 GB, it'll show up as "102400 MB", etc. Always go for a custom partition table (so you can pick and choose what you want to install over and what you want left alone.) Assign your Linux partition as "/".
