I downloaded the 32 bit ubuntu from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

I got it as a comressed file. I decompressed it using winrar.

i then followed some steps that i cant seem to find right now,wich basically just said

burn it to a cd and restart, but vista keeps booting.

The file you downloaded was likely to be a ISO file. You need to burn this to a CD as an image (not data) and boot from that.

Then when your computer starts, enter the BIOS, find the area that talks about boot order, and make sure that your CD drive is higher in the order than your hard drive.
