In the Linux Mint 12 LXDE the partitions are listed as nsd 1, 2, 3, 4, though I have a Windows 8 CP installation on one of the two partitions on the single hard drive. The space usage is differing in both system calculations, though still relateable. Where the partition is at around 20 GB usage in Windows 8 it will be at around 24 GB in the Linux installation menu. I am just wondering is there a certain way to choose the right partition?

Also in the drop down menu regarding the boot loader, there are multiple options, which one would be the one to be chosen in this case?

What about the system-reserve partition of Windows 7 (the one I am trying to overwrite)? What is happening with that?
