The Ubuntu installation process will allow you to repartition and format your hard drive along the way. You don’t have to do this in advance.
Be sure to copy everything you need off the hard drive before you format it.
If this is going to be a two-hard-drive machine (i.e. Windows on a new hard drive, Ubuntu on your old hard drive), you’ll have to configure it for multi-boot.

Ubuntu boots up a LiveCD to memory, you can take your files off the hard drive to an external hard drive. Then you can do what ever you want. You could also use the Linux cd burning software and burn those files to a CD or a DVD as a permanent copy.
It’s good to play it safe, before you change an operating system. You can also install it dual boot on your old hard drive if it has a Windows operating system. I work on computers and having a Linux LiveCD is very important for me to have, especially crashed operating systems, to recover files from those hard drives. It’s a valuable tool to have available.
