installation

I'm using Windows 7 on my laptop (2GB RAM, 250 GB HDD). I want to install Ubuntu and remove Windows 7. I have Partitioned my laptop into 2 partitions: , C Drive - 105 GB and D Drive - 145 GB. I want to install Ubuntu on C drive all my data in D drive, no backup

I have already selected the "Try something else option "

/dev/sdb
/dev/sdb1 ntfs        104855 MB unknown  C drive
/dev/sdb5 ntfs        145192 MB unknown  D drive

I need help using the "Try Something Else" Option

My course of action:

laptop power on >>boot>>>>>>>>>ubuntu >>next>>something else>>partition.
