I bought a notebook, Sony Vaio VPC-EB1M1E and I want to make partition and use both windows-7 and Linux(Ubuntu).

Should I make partition from inside windows, or should make partition using recovery discs?

There is windows-installer version of Ubuntu, should I use it, or should I install it separately?

Thanks.
