Liz, Have you tried another Linux distribution installer? It could be the 
one your using doesnt support your hardware.

Do you have a digital camera you can take a snapshot of the error screen 
your getting and post it to the list perhaps?

You may want to delete ALL the existing partitions and let the install set 
them up.

It's good advice, but I'm so flippin frustrated with windows and the slow 
strange behavior of the laptop I'm willing to throw the whole machine away 
if this doesn't work. 
Thanks Claude.

Liz,

I would strongly recommend that you not simply wipe out your Windows
install and, instead, run from a live cd, set up a dual-boot system,
or run from within a virtual machine.  Once you're comfortable with
the new system, then you can complete your migration.

Claude
