files from other drives ?

Of course not. You have to be careful in which drive you will install Ubuntu , because Ubuntu(Linux) not recognize the drives as Windows . I mean C: , D: , E: .. etc.

At the installer window (of Ubuntu) you will see dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 .. etc and you have to choose the correct partition that corresponds to C:
