Can't install puppy linux

I have been trying to install puppy on this ancient pc from 2004 with a celeron 2.4ghzs, 256mb of ram and 80gb ide hard drive but the asrock P4i45GV can't pick up on the boot flag or something, even though I have given it a boot flag and the right partitions with gparted so I think its something to do with grub. So as of right now I am stuck.

Grub allows you to choose the which operating system you want to boot from, therefore I don't really know what to do.
I don't really want to use my main pc, so that my partitions don't mess up and just in case grub decides not to work again.

To boot to, its basically a bootloader

It doesn't get as far a grub it just gets stuck not finding any bootable devices

Never thought of it in that way, thanks for the suggestion.
