The installation is pretty simple:

  • Remove all partitions that are not the 600Gb.
  • Create partitions for / and if you want for /home and if you want for swap.

Can I access DATA after installation which is in NTFS format.

Yes, all you need to do is mount the disc as shown here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions with the ntfs-3g driver.

It -is- as simple as this.
