Next is the installation type, this installation on the fresh HDD  so i got only two option in the installation type. Depend upon the other OS on your HDD you will get the other more options. 1. Erase disk and install Ubuntu (i.e. it will format the drive and install the OS) 2. Something else (i.e. you can manually create the partition and install Ubuntu on your selected partition)

If you don’t have any idea about the partitioning scheme simply click continue.

If you have good technical knowledge of partitions then you can go for the second option Something else on  “Installation Type” screen which will take you to this same screen. Use this advanced mode if you are comfortable in manually partitioning your drives. I created manually for demonstration purpose, partitions will be like this.

In the final screen you will be prompted to enter information about the first user that is going to be created on the system. Enter your information in this screen.

Here is one thing you should remember – if you select ‘Log in automatically’, it will never ask you your password for authentication while you try to log in to your Ubuntu System. Its best if you give a very secure password for your installation. Ubuntu will inform you whether your password is secure or not.
If you select ‘Encrypt my home folder’ it will make all the files and folders in your home folder more secure from unauthorized viewing if you have multiple users using your computer. When you log in to your computer your files are seamlessly decrypted for just your session. If you are not sure, leave this box unchecked.
