Hi,

things are not clear :

do you have only one drive (assuming Vista is set on this G drive)?
So, please give facts rather in an array format (A drive with this partition with Vista, etc.)

In case, remember before install operations :

First you will backup your data
Second if you have Windows and want to keep it, run the Windows tool to rearrange your disk.
Then go.

You don't know what type of partition it is about (NTFS, FAT,...) so let Ubuntu do it for you.
Anyway Linux systems mostly use EXT3 type.
