Sorry for the misunderstanding...

The boot process is fine. In GRUB I have the choice for either OS.

The question is, in order for Ubuntu to work, ie. get online, it "needs 
to know" - just like Windows did - that there is new hardware.

Should I just use the Recovery/Rescue option in GRUB to do this, or 
something else?
