IF it's ntfs then that's windows. So it looks to me like you have windows on your system Do you want to keep it? If you don't then just delete that ntfs partition and make new linux ones. If you do, then you need some space on your disk to put linux on. If there isn't any spare room, then you have to make some. I don't know if Ubuntu includes a tool to split your NFTS partition. If not, you need to find one. There are various dual boot guides out there, for example http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p3.htm Zebee
