Problem is that I still need to be able to boot into windows for the kids etc.

I have a spare 2nd drive to use for it, how would I go about making it dual booting?

Dual-booting is dead easy -- just let the installer do it for you. It will recognise you've got Windows on your PC and will install a boot menu so that you can select either Ubuntu or Windows when you start the PC.

As to the resolution thing, it's pretty easy to solve, but it requires editting a config file and so can't be done with a Live CD.

Do you know what chipset the card uses? Is it a 'b' or 'g' card?
