Try going to Ubuntu Wiki and read the installation docs.
*wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallationHowToI386
If you can't follow them entirely then take print outs and follow the procedure during installation.
Just remember one thing. During the time of installation, choose /dev/hdb and not hda for partitioning. hda is the Hard Disk that most probably has Windows on it while hdb is the blank one.
