    I have ubuntu on a 500GB SATA HDD (disk 2) partitioned to hold win 8 and mint as well. They all (but mint show up fine on the boot. I setup a 50GB partition for ubuntu as NTFS. It runs fine. It only took 3.2GB of the 50GB I partitioned. If the HDD is 320, this is what I would do:

    part (x): 80GB NTFS Ubuntu
    Part (x): 200GB NTFS Win 7
    rest setup as data sector or free space. You can change the 80 to 120 (true 120GB) incase you think you are going to install many programs on ubuntu. If you are going to run a lot of programs on ubuntu, then I would run two partitions both at NTFS split equally (roughly 160 GB each)
