Syslac proposed the following answer:
Probably if you want to try and use the D as the partition for Ubuntu,
you'll want to try "Manual partitioning" in the installer.


It's not as hard as it seems, you find a list of all of your partitions; you should see two windows(Fat32 or NTFS) partitions. You just select the empty one to use as your Ubuntu partition.

To do this, you should change the partition type to "ext3" or whatever
you like (reiserFS, etc) and then select the mount point for that
partition to be "/" (the root directory). Then you'll probably get an
error saying you don't have a Swap partition, but if you feel you've got
enough RAM, you can just ignore it. Otherwise, you can create another
small swap partition.

However, I can't help you with the error you got, it should've been fine
to just let Ubuntu repartition the disk.
