i do not understand your problem. i installed ubuntu several times
beneath windows and after the installation you have both systems
startable by grub and without the loss of any data.
but to have a backup is everytime necessary even if you do not plan to
install ubuntu.
as someone else said already: please let us know, what you have done and
what have happened.
