Answer
You really should read the information on Ubuntu's site, it has all of them listed.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
If that doesn't help, you have other issues. Ubuntu is not windows and works differently, Drivers are available BUT you may have to download them... you usually can just hook up the ethernet and get the needed items then connect using wireless.
If you want one that just works, then the RealTek 8187B
or Netgear WG111v2 (others work but read the V2! The V3 usually works but some report issues) But do visit the page listed and READ the list and the notes!

Answer
Either your bios, windows is corrupt or your hard drive broke. Order of most likely problems 1. Windows corrupt. You may have had a virus. 2. Your harddrive crashed. (Your info is unrecoverable) 3. Bios is corrupt (unlikely)
First check if the hard drive works. Start the computer and listen closely for the harddrive. Normally you will hear some clicking sounds.
Most common problem is that vista is messed up. You can access your personal files using a live cd. A live cd is an operating system that runs strictly from a cd that you pop in the drive. Download Ubuntu Linux iso and burn it on a cd. Pop in the cd and boot the computer. Ubuntu is a Linux distribution. It is quite different from windows and takes a while to get used to. However, if the harddrive still works, you will be able to access your files on the harddrive and copy them to either an external harddrive or a flash drive. Once copied, you will be able to reinstall your windows disk and reformat the harddrive. Be careful, if windows was corrupted with a virus, the files you copied to the flash drive might have the virus and your computer will get corrupt again. You will have to start all over again.
