The 'right' click in Ubuntu has a different affect than in windows - Not too sure what you're expecting / wanting.

And, yes, you can install ubuntu onto your disk & have it see the other disk.

An excellent bible of Ubuntu is available here http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty

You aren't expected to read and memorise it - It's a handy bookmark to look up something. There are also some excellent Wiki's and tutorials available on these forums.

A welcome Guide is available here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1052065

And a whole area for newcomers can be found here.

I didn't use wubuntu for my dual booting system, so I don't know much about it.

Sorry that I do not understand what your problem is, The guide as the second part of my previous reply should have helped.

If you could explain what you mean by 'places not opening' - I'll try and understand & help you.
