Dual boot and Installing Ubuntu On F drive

Currently I have two hard disks ,

a. Local Disk C (where Windows is installed) b. Linux F ( where I want to install Linux)

Images of DriveFrom what I have researched, people are doing windows partitioning if they are going to use Linux on the same hard drive. So I assume I don't have to do windows partitioning if I am going to use the whole F Drive for Linux. Please correct me if I am wrong.

So what I did was to go to bios and boot from the USB and install Linux Ubuntu and I followed the installation steps but I came to a halt at Installation Type . I choose the option of 'something else' then there was a drop down but I can't tell which is the F drive.

Linux Installation Type

Please Kindly advice.

Thank you.

Ok so I found a solution to it

1. I created a partition on my F disk by clicking on shrink disk and allocated around 100GB by going to Disk Management On Windows

2. Then I proceeded by Booting through My USB and went to linux installation.

3. Proceeded with Normal installation of Linux.

4. When it came to installation type, I choose 'Something else'.

5. I choose my 100GB of free space. I allocated some space for swap area, root and home.

6. For installation boot I choose /dev/sda

7. Installation proceeded as Normal.
