Use python before all your commands. Even if you setup windows to automatically work without this, it's still a really good habit to get into.
python django-admin.py My guess is that either will work or you have a problem with your python environment. Eventually you'll stop using Windows for Django development (I was like you once!). I suggest installing VirtualBox or VMWare (or whatever else) and do all this stuff from Ubuntu. It will save you many, many headaches.
