    Reinstall windows from a recovery disc or partition.

    Run this command when you get the X Server error:

    Code: 
    sudo dpkg -reconfigure xserver
    And set it to VESA 640x480 mode.

    That will let you boot into the live CD, then you can install Ubuntu and the ATi FGLRX drivers to get full 3d and proper res.
