How do you proceed?
Get Linux supported hardware.
Compaq laptop linux support on the low end is non-existant.
You might also try a newer Linux.

Try interrupting the boot at the installation menu and then select the kernel and press 'a' to append to the selection, then add:
noacpi noapm apm=no acpi=no
I've put both arg types as I can't remember which worked, however just put them all as GRUB will simply ignore any wrong ones.
Now boot the kernel and everything should be fine. If it still hangs then there are some other arguments you can add.

Re: Loading LINUX 8 in Compaq Presario C700 Laptop
If no, then I would recommend using some recent Linux distributions like Ubuntu, PCLinuxOS, Linux Mint, etc.
These can be tried from the Live CD (without installing) so you can be sure that it works with your laptop before installing.

When you select English language, please click the mouse left button on English language line. Then it select that language.

Re: Loading LINUX 8 in Compaq Presario C700 Laptop
Recommendations: Fedora 7 or 8, Ubuntu 7.10, Simply Mepis, OpenSuse maybe. Fedora 8 will look like more of what you're used to, Ubuntu is going to look a bit more strange (to you) underneath, like a Debian system. Ubuntu has a great track record (to me anyways) of being able to run in most anything and working great. The only problem I had at first with it was being surprised about how different it is under the hood (no init levels!).
