Unlike Windows, you don't really need "look" for drivers unless something doesn't work. If you want to have a go without needing to repartition you could try Ubuntu's WUBI tool... it installs Ubuntu into a file on your Windows system but not like a Virtual Machine - it is a real Ubuntu running on your real hardware. A very useful way of finding out if your hardware is supported.
