When you start installing Ubuntu, you will be given an option to resize your
current windows partition (shrink it) and install Ubuntu on the free space.
All you have to do is free up some space (don't know how much GB is minimum
requriment ...?), reboot and start the installation, follow it and you will
get to the step I am refering to. You don't have to be a techie, just
understand english and you should have no problems.

Hope I was of some help.
