That's very unlikely to be anything to do with the processor.

Is this message after you have completed an installation? It is saying that
it is unable to talk to the hard drive ('boot sector' is the first block on
your hard drive). Or is it refusing to boot from floppy or CD-ROM so you
can't even get the installation started at all?

Anyway, looks like you have some sort of hardware problem, perhaps wrong
master/slave jumpers, a bad IDE cable, plugged into the wrong IDE socket on
the motherboard, cable plugged in the wrong way round etc. Check whether the
BIOS detects the hard drive at power-up.

Regards,

Brian.
