I am new to Ubuntu, but I just downloaded a copy from the Ubuntu site 14.04 LTS. I use Acer Aspire V with 8GB RAM and 1TB hard-disk.I have windows 7 on one partition and the other partition is 300GB which I reserved for Ubuntu. When I boot from USB-HDD to install Ubuntu, I can not see my 300GB partition, instead the Ubuntu is seeing the whole 1TB hard disk. The installation give me three options; 1-to install ubuntu and erase the window 7 and loose all my data on the hard disk. 2.Encrypt the new Ubuntu installation for security and 3. Use LVM with the New Ubuntu installation. Please what is the implication of chosen options 2 OR 3 .
