You only mention one hard drive in your system specs, so I'm wondering if maybe you just need to change the RAID controller setting from RAID to AHCI in the BIOS. You don't need the RAID functionality if you're just using one hard drive, and having the RAID portion of the controller enabled may be what's causing your problem.
No.
Have you installed the XP drivers for your motherboard? I suggest going to the Dell web site and take a look first. If no luck then try looking at the company which made chipset.
As for boot to ubuntu you need to either select that drive in the BIOS as the boot drive or install a boot manager. There are several just google
dual-boot xp linux
or something like that.
also I will duel boot tomorrow I found this site to tell me how https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot#Installing%20Windows%20After%20Ubuntu
