Yes it can be done. Make sure the onboard video driver is installed. Right click the desktop.
XP: Properties>Settings
Vista/7: Screen Resolution

When you have both plugged in you will have one grayed out monitor with a number 2 on it. You can click on it and tell it to extend the windows desktop to that monitor. Then change the resolution if needed and it should work.

You might need to go in BIOS and force the on-board to be enabled. Some older boards would automatically disable the on-board ports when a video card is plugged in. In theory all you need to do is change the setting to Enabled/On then go back to what Jesus said.
