error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'
#2
Was that 200GB drive originally in that machine? I suspect you might have the old ~40GB limit in your BIOS.

Try setting a partition of ~30GB and using that for the installation. You should be able to allocate the rest with a partition as big as you like, for data etc.. You might have to use a newer machine (maybe with IDE/SATA USB interface) to set the disk up, like I did years back. Also no more than 3½G of RAM should be installed as more might cause issues.

I'd expect the drive and partitions to show as sda1, 2, etc. by the way.
