which cd are your using?

For the desktop CD, simply boot up the CD and click the install icon on the desktop which will guide you through the installation.

Do I Select Continously, Use free space, and put linux in there, and select that?

Ok I got to the 6/6 step.

Partioning
-------------

if you continue the changes listed below will be written to the disk.

Otherwise you will be able to make further changes manually.

WARNING\
------------/

This will destroy, all data on any partitions you have removed as well, as on the partions that are going to be permanent.

The following devices are going to be formatted.

Partition #2 /dev hda1 as ext3

Partition #5 /devhda as a swap..

Could someone tell me if i click install I'll be good, or will i reformatt all drives?

EG WIPE WINDOWS

--------------------------
Not what I want to do.

windows will not be erased if it is in a partition other than hda1 or the swap.

@Super Josh39
Nobody can't say with 100%, is that right because we don't know enough about your machine. How big is your harddisk? Or is there more than one disk?
How many partition with Windows? But if you have 19GB empty space on your one single hard disk with Windows, there is no big riskies formatting over Win. And take backups all of your Windows data. And if you choose use free space, everything should be allright.
