My machine is currently running Windows 7. I have 2 partitions: OS (C:) and DATA (D:). I intend to do a native Ubuntu 14.04 install. Assuming I format my Windows OS partition, will I have full access to my D partition in Ubuntu ?

Ubuntu can certainly read and write files in an NTFS partition. The data partition needs to be mounted. This can be done automatically on bootup by modifying the file system table (/etc/fstab). See, for example, Mounting Windows Partitions in Ubuntu
