Need help setting up Ubuntu on windows 7 laptop
For an alternative that does not have the risk associated with
partitioning a disk with an existing OS installation that you may wish
to retain you could take a look at the wubi installer method. The
installation begins while booted to Windows and inserting your Ubuntu
disk. This could be a worthwhile route to take if this is your first
install and use of linux in any flavour. While there is something of a
learning curve to move up, it certainly is a lot flatter than it once was.
Check out this wikipedia article on wubi:

Regardless of which route you go down, heed Yuri's advice of backing up
important files first, and verifying you can access them somewhere
else. Feel free to ask questions on this list as you will have plenty.
But please include a subject when you compose a new message.
Cheers,
Roger
