Well, I finally got around to installing XP and running the BIOS upgrade, upgrading it from version A6 to A12 (no idea if that means they're 6 versions apart...). It will now boot successfully from Ubuntu. Yay! That said, it still won't boot from an Edubuntu CD, but I'll figure that out later; it may be because Ubuntu was on a USB and Edubuntu was on a CD. The CD drive configuration in this box is a bit odd...
Also, if the group of computers you want to install onto are the same machines, you can just clone the hard drives using something like clonezilla.
