can you run it in liveCD mode? press "try it" and start the OS?

you might need aditional parameters on boot or use alternate install. it could be that you need graphics drivers. Alternate install doe sit all in text mode. while some boot parameters can force graphics into basic mode (like safe mode in windows).

Hi and welcome to the forums caabcaab :)

Please post the full specifications for the computer especially RAM and graphics card.

Also check in the Windows Disk Management utility and report back with how many primary partitions are there.

Thanks.
