Owww, that is the WRONG way to go about creating a dual boot system, you are on a path to FUBAR your Windows install! Outsmarting the installer is a BAD idea, so please remove the partition again (assign the space back to windows), and let the installer do the work. The installer will offer to split space, and create a dual boot system, ONLY if it sees a valid Windows filing system in the first primary partition, and if that partition has enough empty contiguous space for a gOS system. This installer option is recognizable by the space assignment slider it represents. Especially If you want a boot manager for your dual boot system I would advise against using the "manual" option, and if you do not want to PERMANENTLY loose windows you should never use the "use whole disk" option!
So I STRONGLY advise you, (if you are creating a dual Windows/gOS system) to defragment AND error check the Windows partitions, (using the windows defrag tool) BEFORE installing gOS, as the installer can get into problems when it encounters problems in the NTFS filing system. And letting windows do the de-fragmenting (necessary to create continuous free space to use for splitting off a new partition) is also very advisable. If you are creating a dedicated gOS computer (no windows) on an old hard-disk that used to contain Windows, I advise to use the partition editor (gparted) on the live_CD to remove ALL the partitions on the hard-disk before running the installer.
