If you look at the link provided by Thomas on the left and side you will find instructions on creating a bootable USB

From Windows:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows

From Ubuntu:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu

From OSX:

Once you have created your USB boot from it then select "Try Ubuntu" make sure everything works. If it does boot from the USB again and select install.

Before you do however make sure you have a backup of any personal data you want to keep.

No offence but USB creation could be just unnecessary complication. Instead download Ubuntu ISO and burn it on CD/DVD.
- First boot machine using burned media and backup all your important data. (Documents, Photos..)
- after you make shure your data is safe (here you can use USB drive to backup your data if no other option is available)
- you can now install Ubuntu from clean start or if you like from scratch
