Hi, I had the same problems. I think the solution for you is in the program nvidia-settings. Run it as root. There, I think you can adjust your screen position, and save it to your xorg.conf file. If that doesn't work, you can always adjust the screen in the linux boot, then use nvidia's tools to move the screen in windows.
