I'll assume that's what you meant. To set it up, first install Windows then when that's all set, pop in your Ubuntu disk, boot it up, and click the "Install" icon on the desktop. that'll guide you through partitioning nad it will automatically set up the GRUB bootloader so you can choose which you want to boot.

We'll need to know a lot more about your setup. Please tell us what model you have of both. Wireless cards are dodgy because the VAST majority of manufacturers refuse to document their products so that the community might write Linux drivers for them.

eracer2006, the proprietary ATi drivers should work with your 1900. However, you're probably SOL with the Audigy. Creative has been promising us drivers for years but they've yet to deliver. Rumor has it the current projection is Q3 of this year. I'm not holding my breath.

There is a package called ndiswrapper that you could use to use Windows drivers on Ubuntu.
