Ubuntu can be installed from the CD and it handles the partitioning during the installation.
When I first installed it, the screen stayed black too but that's because I didn't make room for the Linux installation; so I made room on the HD for Linux (I shrunk the space available for Windows so a part of the HD was unused) and then I let the Ubuntu installer use the remaining space. Then the installer takes care of the rest and it should be installed soon after that.
