Tom proposed the following answer:
Ahh we haven't finished yet!

Sda3, sda4 and sda5 are just about crucial to be about like that.  It's
your choice tho - you might want to install lots of programs inside
Ubuntu in which case make sda5 a bit larger.  You might prefer to try a
different file-system - ext3 is the standard one but there are choices.
You might want to try install a few Windows programs in which case
you'll need to make the /home as large as you can so forget sda7.

Someone said the difference between linux and Windows is that Linux
gives freedom OF choice whereas Windows gives freedom FROM choice.  I
think that's a pretty good way of summing it up.

It is in the installer, about halfway through, that you get to choose
which partition is used for what - although linux-swap is set by it's
'file-system' type.  When you get to the "Partitioning Section" choose
"Manual Partitioning" ;)

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
