First, how much RAM do you have?
Second, have you googled the problem? Or checked the Ubuntu forums?
I realize time is a constraint, it is for us all.
I currently have XP Pro, Wolvix and Ubuntu all on the same hard drive
with no issues.
My cpu is a lowly 1.4 ghz, memory a lowly 768MB and a slow 160 HD.
Maybe you should follow these guidelines posted here >

Good luck and Happy St Pat's Day to all.
