One day long ago, my laptop decided to be stupid and say that some essential Windows file was missing. So I couldn't boot into it. I tried installing Ubuntu but that didn't work out well.

Now I was just trying to install Linux Mint, but that didn't go very well. The laptop boots from the CD, gets through an initial loading screen, then just hangs while showing a cursor.

How do I make that not happen?

My last craptop has 512mb xD

I allmost punched a hole through the screen whenever I had two apps running at one time...

If you insert, say, a Windows CD, can you get to the point where it asks you to format your drives?

if so, do a thorough format (as in non-quick) and see if that helps...
