Allocate drive space

Use the checkboxes to choose whether you'd like to Install Ubuntu alongside another operating system, delete your existing operating system and replace it with Ubuntu, or — if you're an advanced user — choose the 'Something else' option.

Question: does choosing the second option "Replace Windows 7 with Ubuntu" delete my drive & drive data also, or does it only delete the C drive?

It will delete everything.

When I say everything, I mean the whole drive. I don't have any documentation to show you right know, but I have experience on this. Recently I suggested this option to somebody and the whole drive reformatted. C:\ , D:\ .. everything.

Choosing replace Windows 7 with Ubuntu wipes everything from the drive, if you're looking to replace Ubuntu with Win7 backup any data, if you aren't you can use the partition tool to install Ubuntu along side Win7
