  1. You can use the windows installer to install it on the same partition as windows.
    According to This question from another forum and this question you can not use ntfs or fat as file system for a standard ubuntu install because it doesn't support the necessary priviliges.
    I would always use a linux partition as the root and you can always make a data partition as ntfs that you can write to from both windows and linux. If you can't change the partitions you may be out of luck, though.
