I think Ubuntu has a feature during installation so that it can partition my hard drive....right?

If it can, I have another question:

I'm using Windows Vista and this computer came with an already partitioned hard drive (the c:\ drive and d:\ drive). The C drive is the main drive, however I have installed some programs on my D drive. Is there a way Ubuntu can split the D drive and be installed on it? Also, if it can do this, will I be able to still boot from windows?

Thanks!

When you use Vista; you have to first allocate space for Ubuntu with the Vista partitioner.
