Is it a 32bit CPU?? Fedora no longer works on 32bit CPUs. Had a system that had been running the 32bit version on a machine that had a 64 bit CPU, had to do a clean install, but it the CPU is only 32bit, you would be stuck with running the last versin that supported 32bit. Have you tried if it will boot from a USB Flash of Fedora??
