I just finished a fresh installation of Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux. The dual boot setup by GRUB works great, and I can get into both easily. It looks like my audio and video drivers were installed (kind of cool actually, because I had to manually install these drivers on Windows XP, but not Ubuntu).

The only problem is a relatively large problem. During setup, Ubuntu found both my ethernet and wireless connections. I tried to configure the Wireless adapter from setup but it failed, so I told it to skip it. Now that I'm in Ubuntu, I still have failed to get it to configure correctly.

I'll have a look at that link you gave me for Wireless Drivers... however, would it be a driver problem if it found the adapter at setup?

Thanks!
