 You could try Lubuntu or Xubuntu 11.04 just to see if the

 Lubuntu is a little light for me, but it might be perfect
 for a P4 machine if it 
 
 works.
Xubuntu 11.04 works, I think
the CD is reporting itself as xubuntu 10.04 (strange)

gparted has reported the hard drive has bad sectors in NTFS filesystem :(
Noo! You Microsoft bastards me strangle the air, where is my Windows 
XP CD..
found it, now run chkdsk /p
waiting, waiting.

 That's odd, I recently installed Xubuntu and it seemed to
 be reporting as 
 11.04.  In what area did it say it was 10.04?

near the Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key, i'll have to check when check 
disk finishes if ever

 
 Glad it seems to be working for you however.

 Actually, bad sectors may be indicating a problem with the
 hard drive.  It would 
 really pay to look at the Smart status of the drive and
 keep close tabs on it.  
 Also do regular backups of any important data.

I hope is not another dud computer for her (first dud was RAM corruption issue) 
:(

do these centrelink/job networks give out dud computers?
