So it looks like you've done everything you should do for the disk in windows. The next step is to put in the instalation cd. Select "try ubuntu without installing" to get a full system. Launch gparted to make the ext4 and swap. Then on the desktop click "install ubuntu" and when it comes to the disk section select "do something else" to manually assign the ext4 as / so as to not have ubuntu's auto shit fuck up your windows.

Try mint some time too. You might as well try a few before your system ages and you end up entrenched.
