Problem solved. Xubuntu 12.04 installed successfully. What a nightmare. Thanks for all of your help!

The solution was to pick an OS that's compatible with 512mb ram. Xubuntu 12.04 requires that but I will be upgrading to 2 gb ram after this fiasco. The reason I was trying to install an OS that required more ram was because I mistakenly thought I upgraded to 2 gb when indeed I haven't. Like I said this is an old computer that I haven't used in a while. Thanks for the help!
