Backup before you do anything else.  Boot off the usb stick and backup
from /home on your hard disk from there.

By the way, to get to the manual partitioning page in the installer
select "Something Else" on the page with the install options.

There is no point installing 11.10 and then upgrading to 12.04, go
straight to 12.04.
