        Well I have good news but I don’t know how to explain it.
        I made another live usb just like I did before .
        Installed to the ide drive just like I did before.
        When I started the system I pressed e and changed the boot line to say vga=1025×768
        However I don’t think it mattered. It did boot up properly so I restarted without saving anything.
        It booted up just fine.
        I don’t know what went wrong all the other times but it is fine now.
        Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
        I did learn some things to help installing antiX on old machines I will use in the future.
        If I have any other issue I will create a new post.
