I am running windows 8 on my SSD, and I also have a 2TB HDD. I want to install Ubuntu on the HDD, but I have all of my programs and files on that drive, and am worried that I will lose them all if I create Ubuntu partitions.

You can create NEW partition on unallocated space. So first of all, you must resize your partition you have on that disc (to a smaller one) .

Then you will have unallocated space, where you can safely create NEW partition for your linux.

You can use gparted in linux, or some windows alternative (partition magic for example).
