To install Ubuntu 12.04 on windows system

Make bootable pen-drive or bootable compaq disc(CD) with Ubuntu 12.04

Follow the steps:

Attached Pen drive or CD on your commuter

When Black screen comes it will automatically take your bootable CD or pendrive if not press f11 to go to boot menu

No need to de-fragment. After identifying the driver, he need to delete partition (this will delete all data) and recreate with file system ext4(or ext3) and mount point as /. – Web-E Jan 31 '13 at 08:01
Some times it fails to identifying the drive without de-fragment. I have face an issue without defrag. – Sumit Munot Jan 31 '13 at 08:04
Hello Sumit how it will identify the drive d: or it will automatically identify the drive, should i have to delete the partition during installation of ubuntu or i have to delete the partition before installing ubuntu – Sarvagya Pandey Jan 31 '13 at 12:26
No need to delete the partition, it'll automatically detect all the partitions on the drive select one of them(D drive). Allocate the space to Ubuntu from the free space of drive. – Sumit Munot Jan 31 '13 at 12:44
