I recently tried to install Ubuntu on my Lenovo Laptop, but it kept showing only 1 HDD partition (whole HDD as 1 partition) and kept asking to format it completely to install Ubuntu. I already have 3 partitions, C was Windows, D was a empty NTFS 80GB free space partition, E was my personal data partition. Ubuntu kept showing only 1 single HDD before installing it, it kept asking to completely erase data to install itself.

Is there any way to avoid it, save my data from deletion and install Ubuntu on one partition only, not affecting the data saved on other partition?

I remember I installed Linux Mint years ago, and I saved all my data, and installed on new partition. This time it just seems to fail.

Edited part,

Let me start with few details first, I used Yumi (1.9.9.9B version) software to make a bootable ubuntu (ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64).

I have a Lenovo Ideapad y510p laptop, which came with Windoez 8 presinstalled OS, i took out the internal hdd, put it in enclosure formated it completely to install Windoez 7. Now i have Windoez 7 intalled, and wanted to put Ubuntu.

Now i am trying to install Ubuntu from usb, will take screen shots to tell what happens.

Did you read this from Yumi? Important Note: YUMI was intended to be used to try to run various "LIVE Linux" Operating Systems from USB. Installing Linux from the YUMI created USB Drive to a Hard Drive is not officially supported. If the installer portion of any Live Linux distro does work, consider it a bonus. As it should work, ubuntu provides you different choices. I suggest you try out this software as it has been proven to work and let us know if the problem remains. Thank you.
