There are many great tutorials here including one on UV mapping that is done very well. If you need lithunwrap you can search the forums. A few people have posted the link to the free version a while back.

Ok.... I imported my model.... I got the checks to show up in the background (Just so i could place my groups) but I now have a problem:

All the groups seem to be overlapping.... which sucks for texture drawing, as obviously you can't draw two images in the same place.

I REALLY need help with this by tomorrow.... as i need to get the model finished by Friday.

I recommend UV Mapper.
http://www.uvmapper.com/

It's totally free and lets you generate UV maps off of a .obj file using a variety of different UV types and on any axis.

Of course this assumes you have the ability to convert to and from obj. 3D Studio Max has that ability but it's extremely expensive. My copy is from an old roommate going to art college and not wanting to use it because she prefers Lightwave. I'm pretty sure Blender can read and output .x files and .obj.

Anyway, I've used UV Mapper myself already. It lets you manipulate the vertices and faces on the UV map so you can fine tune it, which is always a good thing.

No matter where you are... everyone is always connected.
