You actually haven't to do nearly anything.
When you're installing ubuntu without formatting your windows-drives (you install it with the windows installer wubi or make a new partition or take a new harddrive) you will find the windows-drives as they are in the places-menu of ubuntu (eventually even right on the desktop).

I'd suggest you first try to boot with the live-cd (download the ubuntu iso file from ubuntu.com burn it on a cd and restart your pc with the cd in the drive) then select try the live-system (or similar) and you first can try the look and feel of ubuntu and test your windows-drive access without changing your computers configuration.

have fun!
