Wubi is an interface that allows you to install Ubuntu just like a program, and if you don't like it you can uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs, just like a program. If you really like it, you can make the choice to get your hands dirty, repartition, and install on its own partition, but Wubi gives you the choice to try it out within Windows.
You can find it here, and a good guide for using it is here.

In terms of the drivers and whats not, would everything be running smoothly without issue.
Some may work no problem and some you may have problems with. They may have their own drivers already for you and some they may not. In regards to sound and graphics I think the newer versions already come with their own graphics drivers already installed so you won't need to worry about that sound I am unsure of, if you have onboard sound just turn your speakers on and see if sound doesn't work you will need to download your sound driver for linux and install that which is done from command line, if you don't know your command line it can be difficult and it is not a case of double click and install, you do need to do alot more work.
I hope that has helped in some way.
Regards

if your going to be using ubuntu much, its better to have a normal partition for it.

None of my pictures got transfered over and none of my music. I have not uninstalled it; however, I will keep it there just in case I have to work with it sometime later.
Open up the terminal and type the following:
sudo mount
sudo fdisk -l
and post the contents of those two commands.
