I recently burned Iatkos 5i to a dvd and tried to install it, but when I try to format my hard drive under disk utilities to guid, the bar gets stuck at what looks like 1%. I cant do MBR either, but I can do that other one (Apple Something from OS 9.) But it doesnt want to install to that I get an error about 10% into the installation that it cant install a file. I really need some help on this, my computer is a Compaq Sr2011wm thats stock accept for I upgraded the RAM to a gig. I have an IDE western digital hard drive 80gb, not sure the rest. Celeron D 3.2ghz, Radeon Xpress 200. I completely wiped my hard drive before I tried all of this, please help.
Any help would be appreciated, I can also answer any questions about my hardware or what I did.

To be honest, im really confused, all that I know about MBR is that it stands for Master Boot record, but i dont even know what it does lol.
