I made an ubuntu USB drive and when i boot up my computer it asks me if i want to try or install ubuntu. I'm concerned about my data being lost. What happens when you press install, does it over ride the current data, or do I have to specify were to install it within the drive.

Thanks

It gives you the option.

Wipe the whole drive, or shrink the current Windows partition and use that freed space.

I strongly suggest you have a full disk backup of your Windows drive before you do this.
