Ya I am Here..
I am Sure there Should Be MEDIA DIRECT Partition in your HDD.
Make Sure to Take Back Up Before working on it. If You are removing the Media Direct partition only you can Partition the C Drive.
1) You have C Driva
2) Recovery Drive a D
In between C and D The Media Direct is there so You can do the Partition. remember to Take backup Before doing any thing.
*********************************************************************
And Reg installing Ubuntu You can Use VMware it best and it works great for Virtual Machine works.
