I need to partition my hard disk and I want to dual-boot. I don't want to nuke Windows XP. I can't access the Internet on Ubuntu so how to access the internet wireless on Ubuntu?

You can reduce the partitions from within Windows as of the Vista version (not in XP). To reduce XP you can use gparted (it is probably on the Ubuntu livedisk).

Regarding wireless what is the output of ?
