Very basic question:

When installing ubuntu on a dual boot system, I noticed that it had the import option for basically the documents and settings folder from windows, which is brilliant I think, but my question is, if during the installation of ubuntu, I tell it to use the whole drive, will that option still be available? It's basically asking if I can do that before formatting the box.

I don't think so. I've never used the import features, but i am pretty sure they happen after the partitioner. it is possible that it is smart enough to know better, but I wouldn't risk it.

I know that it happens after the partitioner, I just don't know when it applies the partition settings.

No, if you use the whole drive then it is formatted and all contents lost.
