No, that shouldn't be a problem at all. During the installation it has a partition manager in it, which asks which partition to install to, and i'm not sure, but possibly make a new partition too.

Have you tried the Live CD?

Ubuntu is free, CH.

KoF, are you trying to run Ubuntu as a virtual machine? What version of VMWare are you running? Are you setting the virtual machine to have physical access to your disk?
