Thanks for everyone's input. I ended up triple booting with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Ubuntu Ultimate. Currently, everything seems to be working besides the wifi card in Linux. I need to get the correct drivers. Other than that, everything was really easy.

Thanks.

If you don't have linux drivers, just download ndiswrapper program and install. Then copy *.inf and *.sys files from your CD drivers for windows to linux directory and put command ndiswrapper -i xxx.inf, next write modprobe ndiswrapper. Finally you can see your wifi card by iwconfig, this will be wlan0. Then just configure internet connection by any wizard.

Thank you for the information. I had run accross ndiswrapper on a web site, but had not taken the time to use it. I will try it and see what happens.

FYI: I ended up finding a blog with a person that made drivers for my internal wifi card. The process didin't go as the blogger said, but it ended up working. I will have to find it again now that I have had to format.
