Damn.
I have tried to install 4 different OSs and i wasn't able to install ANY of them so i was just wasting all of my time. (Windows 98, XP, vista, and 7)
I am probably just going to use linux mint.
I tried using windows 7 but i couldn't install it because the partitions on my drive weren't ntfs format. (Yet the laptop originally had windows 7before i got it)
oof i had a really hard time setting up partitions on my external drive just for mint linux to break it. The drive is now completely f**ked and it is unfixable. It won't even show up in disk management.
