If you've done this sort of thing before, maybe. If you haven't, definitely.

If you have things that you don't want to lose - Yeah!
But the only reason you would lose any data is if you aren't sure about creating/resizing/deleting partitions and/or if you accidentally install ubuntu to the wrong partition overwriting your data.
