Try booting from the CDROM. If you have to change your boot order in
your bios settings, do it. You can change it back later.
I don't know how true this is but someone told me that there is a
version of the install program on the RH CD that will run under Windows
or DOS.
Lastly, try this website:

There is an index of people who have set up webpages describing their
experiences with installing Linux on many types of laptops.
