Ubuntu Installation 13.04 Can't find Windows 7 Partition?
When trying to install Ubuntu Desktop 13.04 it does not pick up my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Partition. It just shows my hard drive (500gb) as completely free space. I have created an unallocated space of about 100gb but it doesn't pick it up. The Laptop is an Acer Aspire E1-571 it came with Windows 8 installed but decided to down grade to Windows 7 as I did not enjoy Windows 8. I just want to know how can I get Ubuntu to recognize Windows 7 so that I can install it on the unallocated partition alongside Windows 7. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Unallocated may need to be initialized. Try with windows disk manager or a boot disc* with a partition app.
