1.run ``sudo pppoeconf`` from a terminal and answer for those dialogue boxes
2.GNU/Linux and other *nixes have no C,D labeled drives,they are identified as sdx or hdx etc where x is the drive.and you can edit the ubuntu /boot/grub/menu.lst to show your ide drive where Ubuntu is installed(like (hd1,0) for first partition of second drive.grub may be installed on MBR of sata drive if sata drive is the primary.so post your ``fdisk -l`` from a terminal.
3.GNU/Linux is also a Operating System and it needs space like M$ Windows for installation.you can partition your 20GB into 2 or 3 different partition including a common swap partition for both distros.
4.See! Linux also needs Partition Space and its not something virtual that doesnot need space!.if you are searching for a missing fat32 partition most probably it is alloted by Ubuntu for Ubuntu Linux!.

there are different types of Operating Systems other than Windows.the harddisk is not called as C,D etc.of most of these OS's are *NIX based and are very very stable.so please take some time to understand about GNU/Linux
