you have no need to install ubuntu to find out if it will find all your hardware.

(1) set up your bios to boot from the cd rom.
(2) insert the ubuntu cd in the drive,
(3) reboot the system and let the cd rom boot up the system
(4) click on install, it dose not install Ubuntu on to your hard drive, but installs through your memory.
(5) let it do it's setup.
(6) it will find all your hardware,
