Since I have two hard drives (C and D) and my D hard drive has a lot more unused space, I want to partition it so I can put ubuntu on it. There are two main concerns I have. The first is if I will still be able to put stuff on the unused space (the partition without ubuntu) of the D drive from windows. The second is if I can just put the grub bootloader on the D drive, that way windows will automatically load unless I intentionally boot from D. This seems doable from the little bit of research I've done but I want to take the proper precautionary steps. I'm also a bit unsure of how the file systems will work (NTFS vs ext4).
