Dual Booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu


I'm planning on dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu on one of my old computers, when I was looking at disk management I have this:

My question is, if I install Ubuntu on the D: drive, will it work properly or would I get errors? I haven't done a dual boot in years and never had something like this before. Thanks for the answers in advance.

I don't think that you are going to have problems with that partition scheme.
Just remember that your data stored there will be deleted, so do a backup.
Also, during Ubuntu installation, you can format that partition in Ext4 instead of NTFS, which is better for linux use, and add another small partition to use as swap.
