I have a 160 GB hard drive with 80 GB of free space. The other 80 is for windows. How do I install ubuntu on the free space while keeping windows ?

You have to make your system dual boot .
When you install the ubuntu just give the 80 GB Patition to the Ubuntu.
Have a look on

The alternative is to install Ubuntu "inside" Windows. Check the WUBI subforum here for details.
