Question

ubuntu

Hello! I have three drives - C, D, X. How can I install Linux Ubuntu on the X drive as a second system without damaging the data on the C and D drives? I have Ubuntu as an .iso file. Drive X is on NTFS.
ps I'm installing the system for the first time, and I'm also very afraid to damage the data or break something.
