Installing a new Operating System is inherently risky. While the Ubuntu developers work hard to ensure data doesn't get erased, they have not tried to install on your particular hardware.
Also, one of the install options is to erase all data and reformat the entire drive, and humans sometimes make erroneous selections that they later regret.
Best practice is to back up ALL data that you value on the entire drive onto some other media before changing partitions or installing a new OS. Being prepared for problems can save you days of misery.
