Ubuntu install on 64bit version?

[tvluther]

I have 2.5TB of drives and I have one drive partitioned out to 125GB with NTFS formatting. I am running Vista 64bit.

I am trying to install 8.10 but it says I have the wrong version for my system. I am new to Linux and would like to start out with Ubuntu and try to get more in to Linux.

I dont see a 64bit version of UBuntu, am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

***Edit*** I should mention I am running RAID5 on the system.

Are you trying to install Ubuntu on it own partition or are you trying to install Ubuntu using wubi?

I was trying Wubi.

Well I cant seem to get it installed and since this is the first I have tried Vista, I cant figure out the errors. It just fails about halfway with no real error message that says anything reliable.
