Well if you know nothing about unix/linux, I would start by welcoming you here, I believe you will learn a lot...
My advice would be to go for a live CD/DVD FIRST, like knoppix, then play around with it...
This will avoid the mess up you PC...
Once you feel yourself confident enough for the great leap, I suppose you would be back here asking us about dual boot alternatives...
I suppose you would need to get some utilities like partition magic first in order to free disk space for unix/linux filesystems (but there I could be wrong, I havent followed in WIN stuff...).

tables.
If the filesystem or partition is found, the device name will be printed on stdout.
The complete overview about filesystems and partitions you can get for example by
lsblk --fs
partx --show <disk>
blkid
