Please tell are you trying to use Wubi to install Ubuntu (not suggested)...?

If no please simply delete the partition d: (i guess using is recognized by Ubuntu as /dev/sda2) using (boot your pc entirely from) the Ubuntu live install cd and then use the System→Administration→Partititon editor (gparted) to delete the /dev/sda2 partition

Then install Ubuntu telling at install step to use the free space.

Thank you
