OK so what should I do? Create a partition on the f drive?

No. (Sorry if I speak out of turn) You just leave the F drive as empty space, reboot your PC on your Linux installer medium (DVD, USB, I don't know), and when the time comes to choose where to install Linux, you'll find a 230+GB free space where to do it. Select that line, click on Next, and proceed with install. Please note that Ubuntu will install a bootloader of its own that will take precedence over Windows's. It means you'll have the choice on startup between Ubuntu (it'll probably set itself as default) and Windows. Prepare a USB Windows installer in case you don't like Ubuntu after all.

Actually what I want is a dual Boot alongside with Windows. That is exactly why I got another hard disk of 240GB. The last time I installed linux alongside windows. It was a disaster , that My windows core files got corrupted.

Yeah, but this is still how you do it. Doesn't matter if it't two separate hard disks or just one...
