Most Windows 7 systems are BIOS with MBR and its 4 primary partition limit. If you converted from basic to dynamic partitions with Windows you have to convert back. You cannot use NTFS partitions like D:, but partition will have to be totally reformatted as ext4. Be sure to make a Windows repair flash drive or have installer with repair console. askubuntu.com/questions/149821/…

You can install Ubuntu on D or E partition. During the installing wizard you have to install the grub as well and select the first disk (sda) not the partition (e.g sda4). At the end you can reboot and select the starting O.S from the grub menu.
Remember to add the boot/efi partition if your PC has UEFI
