I current have Ubuntu Installed using Wubi under C:/ drive. Im on Ubuntu 11.10. Im planning a full reinstall of Ubuntu 12.04, but this time without Wubi.

I want to install Ubuntu on a Single Drive, like D:/ or G:/

Can I do that ? If I delete and make some unallocated space can I use that to Install Ubuntu ?

More Info :

Five Partitions

C: 135

D: 50

E: 50

F: 180

G: 50

Gparted shows I have Primary ntfs 135 and other 330 as extended.

I have Windows 7 x64

You can install ubuntu on any partition. I don't see the actual meaning of your question though. If you are afraid that while installing ubuntu it will wipe out your entire Hard disk, then no. It won't wipe out your entire hard disk unless you select the option "Use the complete hard disk for installation" during the installation steps of ubuntu.

You can make some unallocated space (keep in mind that your hard disk can have only four primary partitions. So if there are already four, make this unallocated space within the extended partition) and install ubuntu there. Attaching an image of my hard disk:
