Step 3
After u have selected ur language u will see this screen
U have to select "Install Ubuntu" option.

Step 4
After u have selected "Install Ubuntu" option it will load just wait for few seconds,u will see this screen while it loads.

Ubuntu is loading..........

Step 5
After it loads u will see a warning message,don't be afraid this message means u will lose data stored on the partition on which u will install Ubuntu,u must have taken backup of ur data,i think u know how to take data backup.This is the screen which u will see.
