what trouble you had ?
whether its ntfs or fat, installation of linux should not face any problem.
anyways...
first of all you need some free space on your HD to install linux. Have at least 5Gb space for it. Doesn't matter whether it will be primary partition or logical.
Install linux in that partiton and install the bootloader of linux into the MBR. Thats it!!!
now since your windows partitions are ntfs so you won't get the write access to your partition through linux. Only read access would be there.
so either have fresh installation of windows too with fat32 file system or except the o/s drive (which would be 'c') delete other partitions of windows and make fresh partitions with fat32 file system.
do whatever suits you.
