Installing ubuntu and drives partitioning

Question

I am shortly switching to ubuntu forever. I want to erase windows 7 and run my laptop on ubuntu. I have acer aspire 4736z laptop with intel t4400 processor, 3 gb ram, 320 gb disk.

Is 64 bit system fine?

Also i have 3 drives currently on my laptop. i wish to make them 4 drives with 80 gb 4 drives or 5 drives of 40 gb two and 80 gb 3 drives.

How can i change drives structure while installing ubuntu 14.04 LTS?

Also the data i backup on an ext hard disk, will ubuntu read that disk whose data backup was done in windows?

I hope the community will help me as i have plenty of time due to fracture ;)

I need to learn about gnu, grub, wine, terminal etc.

Regards,

Harsh
