i have a 512gb SSD mid-range laptop running on windows, and have been for a long time. i'm thinking of making a dual boot, and I want to install the ubuntu files onto my other drive partition (for example, right now i'm using the C: partition as my main one, with ~400 gigs in size, and then another ~100 gb D: partition, running on the same SSD, both formatted in NTFS). is it possible to install it onto there instead of on the entire SSD? just asking, since i don't want to accidentally install it onto my main C: drive.

keep in mind i'm not very talented with ubuntu.
