Just downloaded and burnt Redhat 8.0 on a cd and tried installing it. However, upon selecting any of the partition methods I recieve this error, which I have attached...(please bear with me :))

I personally have no idea of what this means...besides that it might have something to do w/my display....any help is greatly appreciated :)

BTW, if this helps, I am installing Redhat 8.0 on a 266 PII, 32MB RAM, with a 3 gig HD.

try the text-based install. You may be running low on RAM.
Try passing these options at boot...

What kind of video card? Motherboard? Monitor?
Did you check Red Hat's hardware compatability list?
