When you put the ubuntu disk in to the dvd drive and boot you will have options to create a separate partition , or to take over the entire drive .

Obviously you want a separate partition. Once its installed you will be able to choose which one to boot to. The Linux partition will be able to read all of your document files in the windows partition
