problem installing linux 3.8 on hp pavillion ze 5300

[chasemon42]

Hello folks I checked in on the post for a few days and recieved no responses, unable to come up with a whole lot of better solutions I have decided to install Bodhi Linux 5.0 and see what happens.  From what I gathered Bodhi is good for an old setup as this HP.  Really I'm just given things a whorl.  I still have a 3.8 linux lite iso on this hard drive and may need it again.  Thanks for any help.
