Hi Ben

If you have another (newer?) machine or laptop try a live CD and have a look
around. You will find most of the modern live CD's are very good at detecting
hardware and you can be assured that you leave you working OS intact.

Recommended are:

Ubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
Fedora http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD
