If your PC has multiple hard drives then this option allows you to install Ubuntu alongside an existing OS as long as they each have their own drive. If you select this option Ubuntu will take up the entire disk space on the selected drive. For more fine-grained control you can switch to the Manual partitioning option that is detailed further down. This view automatically selects the largest partition on the drive. The available space is limited by the existing contents of the disk and is designed to avoid overwriting existing files. If you select this option you will be given a simple interface that allows you to select the drive you want to install Ubuntu on and a slider to determine the amount of disk space you would like Ubuntu to use.
