    Just type 'expert' and then either choose not to install a bootloader when that stage of the install appears, or choose to place it in Kubuntu's root (or /boot if you made a separate partition for that path) partition. This way it won't affect your present configuration.

    If you aren't going to be using Kubuntu to manage your multi-boot then it doesn't matter. Just leave it off.

    Depends. If you have four or less partitions mark it as primary.
    You'd only need logical if you were making an extended partition.
