What do I have do do to be able to install fedora 8

[critinoalbert]

At first I have Formated my HD using Dariks Boot and Nuke.
I have tried to Install Fedora 8 on this HD but the message comes up Try to boot with NOAPIC.(I do not know what this is)
I then tried to Install Windows XP Pro thinking that it may be the fedora Install disc.
But the message from Windows came up Windows Boot> \SYSTEM 32\hall.dll
What do I have do do to be able to install fedora 8? Any sugession please,,,

once when you start your installation there should be a stage where you are prompted with the partition tool !! it will give you various options like -use entire disk,-use free space,-custom ..
click on it .. it will show you all the available partitions on your harddisk .. now for any Linux OS installation you need two types of partition primarily 1.a partition in linux native format (EXT,ReiserFS..etc) 2. a swap partition (used for virtual paging ) !! so you need to create these partitions !! so you need to delete the partition(i am assuming all the partitions are in ntfs/fat ) in which you want to install your fedora using the graphical partition application that it shows!! then create a new partition in .EXT3/.EXT4 format !! and then create a 1GB partition for swap !! set the mount point of the .EXT3 to /
and then continue installation
