Well the first time the whole drive was in use as NTFS for Windows - so the first time I didn't modify the HD, I just ran the installer and it couldn't install (the screen remained black so I rebooted). The second time the installation went fine - I do think there's an option in the installer to shrink the NTFS partition and then install Linux but I haven't used that, I've used the HD management of Vista to shrink the room used by NTFS.
@DaVince: yeah, I was able to run Ubuntu from the CD but I didn't see anything when installing it the first time.
