[SOLVED] Install Ubuntu over Window 8, mostly :D

Hello, I am installing Ubuntu on my new HP laptop, but would like to keep my Win8 recovery partition intact (in case I sell it someday or something). I ususally let Ubuntu do its own partitioning but this time I plan to do it. It's 640GB. I don't really know too much about swap partitions, ext3, or ext4. I know OF them, but not enough ABOUT them to really make an informed decision. I searched for "default" partitions but didn't find anything particularly helpful. Can someone help me out please :D ?

edit: I have created the recovery media for Windows 8 on 3 DVDL discs, does anyone know if those will restore that partition ?
