I have an old E-System laptop (link to stickers with specs on) https://photos.app.goo.gl/FFxR5njYZnqdPje28

 

I have tried to install Linux on it (Slax, sparkylinux, antiX Linux)(in 32 bit with iso) all iso following the readme.txt in sparky as well as rufus for it and all others. I have tried 2 different USB drives but keep getting the error Failed to load ldlinux.c32.

 

Please advise on what to do.

My guess is that 64bit is enabled by default and you manually need to reset it to 32. 

 

Here's an older thread - but you're using older hardware. Read the lower half of the thread, there are the simple solutions.
