Depends how you're going to install Ubuntu 9.10 .
On a separate partition not used by neither windows or Ubuntu 8.04.
And if you are going to install it on the partition now used by UBUNTU 8.04 did you make a separate for /home
If so do not format /home during the install of UBUNTU 9.10
But to be sure always make a backup first
