How do I do this without having to overwrite my copy of windows and all my files? I haven't experimented with the disk for fear of fucking up my existing setup. Is it as simple as just choosing an option when i install it, or more complicated? I've read that it is possible, but not how to do it. Any help much appreciated.
you can partition the drive and install Ubuntu onto the new partition
then you will have 2 O/S running
you could then run them as a dual boot so you choose what O/S you want to or feel like running @ start up

if i remember correctly its an option during install to make a dual boot for ubuntu. why do you want to run linux? depending on the situation it might actually make sense to run it through virtual pc
EDIT: obviously you have to make a new partition(s) for ubuntu, but once you did that its fairly straight forward to add win to the bootloader

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
