If you want to partition your drive manually, you will need at least two partitions:

One (or more) Ext4 partition: This will be the location for the Ubuntu system itself. Make sure you set the mount point to / (root). Official documentation.
One Swap partition: Used as virtual memory. Also used for storing your memory when going into hibernate mode. You should let the size of it depend on the size of your hard-disc and RAM. Official documentation

To manage your partitions, you could use a tool like GParted, or the installation disc.
