Default Duel OS with Ubuntu/Vista HELP!!!?

Alright I'm trying to learn how to use Linux via Ubuntu. I attempted to partition myhen I harddrive and thought I did it correctly. I downoaded the Ubuntu Image on to a DVD and installed Ubuntu. I tried to use the duel OS feature with grub but it wouldn't load right. Now I reinstalled windows on a new partition that I made when I reinstalled Vista. When I logged in it only showed the partitioned drive which is 10 gigs and not the other 60gigs I have on my computer! I'm really getting frustrated here. I want to learn how to use Linux but I need some help. I consider myself savy enough to do this but linux is new to me so can anyone Give me a step by step instruction of how to do this or a site that explains it step by step I would be really thankful.
Just figured out where the other 70gigs went.
No I installed vista the drive partitioned to 10gigs. Basically I did it so I can reformat it with out reinstalling vista over and over again

If you download wubi, it is a program that you can use to dual boot ubuntu/vista. You can get it at download.com. It will auto partition for you, and if you don't like it. Then go to vista, control panel and then uninstall it.

I'm not sure how to fix it, but you might want to ask on the Ubuntu Forums, cuz that's what they're there for. The folks over there will be able to help you, I'm sure. =]
