gadolinio proposed the following answer:
Hi, Mustafa.
So you have four partitions of 20 GB each? OK, so one of them remains with windows, two others are to be kept as they are, and the last one will have ubuntu installed. So, first of all, move any file you have in that last partition because for installation you'll have it formatted. Boot you computer with the CD you've received. Then double-click on the "install" icon located in the desktop. Once the installing program opens, just indicate it which partition to use for ubuntu. It will be formatted in ext3 file system (the one for linux). Check that the other 3 partitions remain the same (the install prog will show you a diagram of what the hard disk will be like).
If you have any trouble, reply here.
Good luck!
