Erm...
Depends on the set up. You may be given a 'press F2 [or is it F8?] for BIOS menu' or something. Otherwise you need either ESC or DEL (can't remember which) as soon as the machine comes on. You'll need to play around with it I think. If you want to gaz me your email, I'll let you know if I work it out.
Anyway, then it's fairly straightforward, and it'll ask you to save changes, so you can't permanently screw it up.

this = truth
When you boot up, for a couple of seconds it tends to say "Press DEL for set-up" or F5, F10 or ESC.
In the BIOS settings you need boot order.
The ubuntu setup can be made to wipe everything should you choose to do such madness.

Yes,
if you're new to Linux I suggest you dual-boot at least for a while, to see if there's anything you miss (ie. Photoshop, certain games, etc.).
I've been Windows-free for nearly two years now, but it's starting to become inconvenient - I can't complete Half Life 2 because it keeps freezing under Cedega and there's nothing I can do about it... also AutoCAD would be useful for my course. Note how my *only* qualms with Linux are ones out of the control of both Microsoft and um... OSDL I guess? I don't know :)
