Get on the phone to a tv repair gaff in the morning. They'll be able to splice a new rgb connector in for you.

You might get lucky
The pin-outs are:-
Pin# Label Function
1 RED Red color signal
2 GREEN Green color signal
3 BLUE Blue color signal
4 ID2 Monitor identification bit 2
5 N.C. Not Connected
6 GND-RED Ground Red signal
7 GND-GREEN Ground Green signal
8 GND-BLUE Ground Blue signal
9 N.C. Not Connected
10 GND-SYNC Ground Sync signal
11 ID1 Monitor identification bit 1
12 ID0 Monitor identification bit 0
13 H-SYNC Horizontal Synchronization
14 V-SYNC Vertical Synchronization
15 N.C. Not connected
If you look at the monitor plug with wider part of the D at the top. The pins are in three orws of five. Tope row is pin 1-5 Left to right, 2nd row = 6-10, 3rd 11-15.
if the pins that have snapped are not used you should be able to gently bend the others back with some fine nose pliers and get away with - otheriwse you in for some fiddly soldering.
I'd take the **** like usual but I've done the same years ago when in PC support trying to plug monitors in blind

Think (checks old 14" stashed in corner) thats Pin 11 - "ID1 Monitor identification bit 1".
Not entirely sure what its used for - could be just auto-detection of the monitor - Bend the others back very gently and treat it carefully when you put it in. You may well get away with it

Having two OSs on the same drive is dicing with death.
Every time I've needed to run two, I've used separate drives and removed the 'other' one when installing the OS just in case. IE, put a disk in. Install Windows, remove it, put the other one in and install Linux, then put the Windows one back in and switch the boot sequence in the bios to change between them.
Never had any probs that way.

To be honest have had Win2K and Linux coexisintg very well for some time on various boxes. Ensure you install Win2K first and Linux second. Use LILO to control the boot record and there is no reason it wont work.
