I had all kinds of installtion probelms my first time. The item that finally broke through for me was to add the command NOAPIC to the istallation command line. On the older images, you would boot to a options screen before the install. I believe F6 was custom or command line install. On selecting that, it would show the entire command spelled out - I simply spaced to the end of it, added NOAPIC and hit enter and it installed. And yes, myine was an old Dell as well with Xp as the former system.
