Hey Paul, sorry to hear about your PC problems. Get hold of the latest version of Ubuntu or Linux Mint, either CD or DVD editions. They will both boot from the CD/DVD (called "live" mode) and allow you to check that everything works on your pc. Then click a icon on the desktop and they will automatically install themselves to your hard drive. Everything is handled for you, the partitioning, installation and dual boot setup. No need to type in cryptic linux commands.
You just have to answer a few questions like language, timezone etc.
As always when installing a new OS, backup your data first. I run Ubuntu, but like the look of Linux Mint, maybe give that one a go.
