Help in installing UBuntu 7.10 in Toshiba Tecra A8(Vista business)

Hi,

I recently bought a Toshiba Tecra A8 laptop with preinstalled Vista Business license. I would like to install UBuntu 7.10 as another OS.

However, I have some doubts:-

i) I am not sure whether do the above model supports Linux/Ubuntu in terms of compatibility. So far, I googled and knew that it has problem with audio.

ii)Second, I tried to install before Ubuntu 7.10 as another OS in the laptop.
However, it keep on rebooting to Ubuntu rather than a selection of multi Os.
Can anyone suggest me right way or steps to perform the installation?

Given I have only one partition, shall I separate the partition in Vista prior installing UBuntu? Or shall I install Ubuntu and choose Manual Option only to resize them?

Please help.Thanks.
