Hi Matsobane,

It looks like thing have been a little messed up. The partitioning part
of the installer is still a little confusing.

/boot is normally under a 100MB and used for storing the files needed to boot.
/home is where you store your personal files.
swap should be 2-4GB

I would reinstall and just use the default (all one big partition)
option. It will create a ~76GB / partition which will include your /home
and a small <4GB swap partition.

Windows can not share or read the Linux file system so you will need to
leave a spare partition not free space in a Linux partition.
