for a start, just install it through windows(using windows). use it for few days and then if you feel comfortable with it(which you will), install it standalone.

to install it through windows-
1. insert CD.
2. run the wubi installer in the CD (from windows)
3. reboot and u will have a ubuntu boot option. open it and continue...

like nims11 said, its better if you install it from windows if you have only one HDD else use a clean HDD (that doesn't have any data in it), disconnect all other HDDs and experiment on Ubuntu. another way to understand partitioning and installation is to try it on a virtual machine first.

Note: I prefer a standalone install over install from windows.
