@Mike D
"Once somebody has chosen "install alongside", the options "Use Entire Disc" or "Use Entire Partition" are redundant and can only serve to confuse people who may be new to installing anything."
I partly agree, however I was happy that because I wanted to retain existing OS's on my disk, that my choice of 'Install Alongside' was a *correct* choice.
I actually wanted to install into a certain partition (alongside) on the disc, and as it happens this *was* the partition the installer offered to me to resize currently. Therefore, my subsequent decision to click the button 'Install into Entire Partition' *was* logical, correct and appropriate. No confusion. The only problem was it wrecked my whole drive, one Windows OS and two Ubuntu OS's.
