Dell is selling the Inspiron 1420 N with Ubuntu installed. You might check Dell's website for the 1420 N drivers. They may work. Download the ndiswrapper documentation and drivers/software in Windows and butn to a cd disc. Reboot to linux and install. Or, you can transfer with a USB thumbdrive or hard drive. (If you have installed a dual boot system, this should be easy.) A google search on "ntfs linux" should bring up the resources. There are rpms for ntfs read-only mounting and read-write mounting. A lot of folks use FAT32 partitions/drives for transfers between Windows and Linux.
