Not much here to go on... Old computer? Unusual hardware? Laptop? Try again, and when you get to the initial splash screen, review the various F-key options. At the very least, you want to enter expert26 instead of just pressing the enter key. Don't worry about individual files on the hard drive, but do you have sufficient un-partitioned room on the hard drive to install Linux?

Try linux26, there's no point in going to expert mode just yet.

Do you have free room to install in? How does your HDD look like (I mean what partitions do you have on it)?
