You better backup the data , during the Ubuntu installation you get to partitioner where you can delete D:\ and make it a ext(linux filesystem) and install Ubuntu on that space.

The partitioner in the Ubuntu installer will offer you to remove (example) D: to make a ext partiton and install ubuntu on it.

1) Backup your D:\
2) Delete the partition from witin windows. (Right click computer -> manage -> storage -> disk management -> right click D:\ -> Delete volume

3) Start Ubuntu , the partitoner will suggest to partition that space and use that space only for Ubuntu

Can you help with this problem?
