First, may I suggest you keep these questions on the mail list. That way 
others can pitch in and help, and the answers are archived for future users.

Second, you probably want to upgrade to QGIS 1.4. Many improvements and 
fewer bugs...

Now to your question: In the GDALTools plugin there's an option (under 
the Raster menu) called Translate. Here you choose the source jpeg file 
and the target filename. For this to work properly you must know if the 
original is projected in some coordinate system.  You can choose in the 
GUI window which source CRS the jpeg is in.
You can do the same from the command line with:
gdal_translate -of GTiff -a_srs <Original Coord System> <original.jpg> 
<final.tif>
