After fighting with this all week I found a bios update
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.driversguru.com/driverdetail/2154857-A8AE-LE+Motherboard+BIOS+Update">http://www.driversguru.com/driverdetail/2154857-A8AE-LE+Motherboard+BIOS+Update</a><br>
after I installed the update the computer would boot from the
14.04 Live CD and it installed without a problem. It also will now
boot from the live USB. Hopefully this will help if anyone else
is trying to put their old xp computer to better use.<br>

This is something I always do when I get a 'new' computer. And
usually they are so old the update available is the last ever :) I
always boot into Windows download the update, and run it.<br>
Then, I insert my GNU disk (that is a pun btw) and replace Windows.
The hardest part is booting into Windows... it always takes so long
to do anything, but that is usually because they are so full of
viruses that the person was convinced it was broken, or too slow.<br>
<br>
This is a good point to remember. We should encourage Windows users
to update their BIOS before installing. It was an issue I learned
the hard way about 4 years ago when I had a laptop that I had to
install XP on after a newer kernel decided to stop ignoring my
broken BIOS. :)<br>
