Christina,
After you installed Ubuntu once, even if you attempted to un-install it, the partition you made on the disk will still be there, and a new installation would attempt to install in the free space, of which there is less left now, since you have your old Windows(NTFS) partition and the un-installed Ubuntu(ext3/4) still there, so you want to edit the partition table manually first, to actually free all the previous Ubuntu partitions and then install in all that space again.
Anyway, a good question would be "how much space do you have on the disk?" (and also, how much is occupied as of now by Windows). To answer that, you can put the Ubuntu installation disk in and it will tell you, once the partitioning tool/screen loads (then you can just go back, no change is done to the computer by doing just this).
Silviu

If you want to get information on your diskspace you can simply run
% df -h
in your Ubuntu environment.
Regarding the removal of operating system installation remote advise
could turn out to be really bad. You better get a local Linux-guy to
have a look at your machine.
