  You have to boot back to Windows and back up your stuffs... then reformat one of the partitions to install Ubuntu. Most likely /media/sda2 is your C drive.
  
  Double check with Windows, it should have around 50GB.

  hi mr_sotong,
  
  U managed to get your Ubuntu up and running?
  
  Hmm, just for reference, the "/media/sda*" issue, is because you are in the Procedure of performing Partitioning, it's still in Memory, yet to be written into the Partition Table, therefore is consider in a temporary state of mounting. If in previous versions, probably you will see it being mount as /tmp or /temp/sda*.
