Older Mac. Wont Install Macos Stuck On The Install Screen

[daisymay27]

Can anyone help me with this? I'm sure it's in the thread somewhere but I'm so frustrated. I try to install and I get an error. I try to partition and it wont work. I'm completely useless when it comes to technology. Can someone walk me through what I need to do on this?

Before we can help you, we need to know what your set up is. What model older Mac? What version of the OS are you trying to install? How are you installing - from DVD or Recovery?
