    You can install windows simply by booting to the windows cd/dvd that dell provides with the laptop when it is purchased. The drivers can be installed either from the supplied cd or from dells website.

    A CPU too old for Linux is almost impossible, and the D600 is a Pentium M model unless I am mistaken. Linux is compatible with any x86 CPU. Maybe you should try doing a checksum to make sure the ISO doesn't have any errors, then burn it again at the slowest speed.
