Ah the D600, I had that for my college years. A really great computer for its time. Not sure what is causing the issue. But try some of these steps: Remove all peripherals is possible (I've read this error could be caused by some USB device), maybe try installing from a dvd instead of a USB (if you are doing that way).
Also could you let us know a little bit more about your setup, are you going for a dual boot system, what does your partition table look like (fdisk -l)?
