This may solve it for you:

Pre-partition the hard drive you're going to use for 7 into two partitions in NTFS. Attach the hard drive as a slave on a current xp system. Insert the Seven disk and when it auto starts the install quit the install. Copy the entire dvd to the second partition on the newly formatted slave drive. Right click on the setup.exe file and change the properties to Vista compatibility mode. Reset the hd as master with the jumper in the back and put back hd in the system. Reboot the computer with a XP or 98 bootdisk and in dos change to drive d: Then type Setup and it should take off into the Seven setup. Use c: as the drive to install to.

Good advice. You really want to use Windows 7, Vista, or even XP. Those are your best choices. If anyone in this group suggests Ubuntu, run the other way and don't look back. Ubuntu is a pile of crap and will screw up your computer.
