How are you trying to install?
Are you trying to install inside windows using wubi.exe or are you trying to do a full install on the entire disk?

Thanks, Paul........I downloaded wubi for a full install rather than the wubi for the install inside windows; I downloaded the correct version and i am now up and running...........I do have a new problem, however; I cannot connect to my wireless router; I was told I have to do a manual rather than automatic config, but neither seems to be working; Ubantu also does not have a network scan feature (like Windows), so I am having trouble finding my network; My hardwire, ethernet cable connection to my netgear router works fine, and when I switch back to Windows Vista, I pick up my wireless connection fine....Do I have to download something additional to fix this?

"Ubuntu also does not have a network scan feature" : Open File Explorer, and then "Go to"->"Network".
