Answer 1

depends on what message your are getting and how you are doing it... make sure that your are booting from your installation disc and follow the instructions.. if that doesn't work, your could go old school and use a bootable floppy disc if you have a floppy drive

Answer 2

lauch the installer from cd via bios.

Answer 3

To be frank, use the old FDISK utility.
