I had a 320GB already partitioned like this:

105 windows 7
215 just formatted (NTFS)

I wanted U 10.10 installed in the 215GB partition, and the boot loader
menu at startup, like commonly used.

I used the drag partitions size menu, where the 215 partition appeared
50%/50% by default, two partitions of 107.5GB, one of them said Files
3.2GB under the icon, I understand that's the swap space. Well, I
dragged until I had 30GB and 185GB or something like that, then clicked
on install now.

The results? The whole disk was formatted, 307 GB ext4 and 13GB the swap
file (why so large, I have 4GB of RAM?), and of course, the W7 was wiped
out. That was not the expected result and I correctly followed the
steps.
