I changed partitions on my machine so that win7 (NFTS) has 100GB, 16GB for swap, and 380GB for EXT4 where I will install Linux. I set the mount point for for linux to /.
What should I set the win7 partition to ?
my options appear to be /dos or /windows.

  • You don't need to set one now. You can set mounting later, after installing: http://askubuntu.com/q/46588/158442 – muru Jan 14 '15 at 20:26
  • Do you really want to always have the windows partition mounted at boot / all the time? Usually the file browser (nautilus, thunar, etc) has a one-click-mount listing somewhere, probably to /media/something – Xen2050 Jan 14 '15 at 21:54

Either of these will work perfectly fine. The differences only affect the path to the folders and files in that partition.

As an example, if you wanted to open a file on the Windows partition called file.txt, with /dos as the mountpoint the path would be /dos/file.txt. Using /windows would make the path /windows/file.txt.
