Okay first off i did not know where to post this but for the last two days i have been trying to repair my dad's computer. I did everything to get the Hp Recovery Partition onto another hard drive which succeeded but when I booted with it i was not able to do a system recovery and it kept giving me a error loading os error. The problem with the original hard drive was that their are several damaged sectors that made the other partition where windows will be installed unusable. I gave up on that and now I am trying to see if I can install ubuntu with a live cd. It works to the screen where i press enter and select the language but after that it just goes into sleep mode and the monitor goes to sleep. I am not 100% sure on system specs but here they are.
Computer Model: Hp Pavilion a132On
Cpu: Amd Anthlon X 2
Ram: 2 X 512 mb sticks of ram
Hard Drive: An ide hard drive that is around 80 gbs
Cd/dvd: There is a LightScribe Dvd +- writer/ cd-writer
I would also like to point out that even though the screen went into standby the cd is still being read but nothing is happening besides that.

It didn't go to sleep there's just noting being outputted.
I gave up on it now...I took a hard drive from another computer running the same version of windows and everything and tested it to see if it will load...it just bsod...but when i connected it to the original...it worked fine. I just took the monitor from it and hooked it up to a laptop we have and we are just going to buy a new one when we have enough money.
