Hello! I need some help, because once I f#cked the installing up, and had to redo everything on my HDD.

I have a notebook, MSI PR200!

Currently have:
3partitions


/dev/sda5/ NTFS 20GB (with a custom XP sp3, with isn't starting)
/dev/sda6/ NTFS 40GB my vista (ultimate x86 sp1)
/dev/sda2/ NTFS ~95GB for data


I want to repleace the sda5, since it's not working anyways with Ubuntu 8.04 (x86, or shall i got with x64?). Now I launched live, and everything is so PERFECTLY working, no additional driver needed, everything is AUTOMATICALY awesome. So now my question, how shall I install...and please describe like a to a dummy, because I never used Ubuntu before, or any other distribution. For example, I don't know what and how should I partition, or format sda5! ...ext3? or how?

*Thanks in advance for helping! :)
