Question #77301 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77301

Tom proposed the following answer:
lol, really Ubuntu needs 15Gb or more to have enough room unless you use
a separate partition for /home which would be a good idea but it's
probably easier to just do a standard install first time.

Just booting up from the cd and choosing the option "Try Ubuntu without making changes to this computer" should get you to a working desktop.  here's a guide to help with that
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD

Having tried that out the dual-boot guides should help

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
