Hello I'm rather new to Ubuntu and I was wondering if someone could point me to a tutorial of how to boot from a flash drive and tell me if I need to partition my hard drive in anyway in order to boot from a flash drive. Thank you for your time.

See help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick . No, you don't need to partition harddrive. Use F12 or F9 depending on its BIOS then select USB device boot.– user.dzApr 12, 2014 at 7:03

Ubuntu pretty much will help you do all you need if you have successfully created a USB Bootable Ubuntu, and then changed the boot priority to boot from External/USB from the boot screen.
Follow these instruction to create the bootable USB: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
Here you can find the instruction on how to change the priority from BIOS
- Restart your computer.
- Quickly press F2 or F12 or Del (depends on your machine)
- If you can see the Bios screen go to boot.
- From boot locate the priority order of your boot ex.(HDD, CD, USB)
- Press + to change order and make USB first
- Press f10 to save and exit or an equivalent key.
- Make sure the usb is inserted and contains bootable Ubuntu.
- Follow the installation instruction and make sure you install ubuntu without deleting Windows if this is what you want.
Check this link for a nice instructions from Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/install-desktop-latest
Good luck.
