Been there, done that...
Are you using Lilo rather than Grub?0x01 Illegal Command This shouldn't happen, but if it does, it may indicate an attempt to access a disk which is not supported by the BIOS. Definitely check to see if the disk is seen by the BIOS first (and that the BIOS detail is complete).

I have Victor on a CD. Does it say to pick Lilo rather than Grub anywhere? Bear with me, please, the disk is a RW good disk. How do I do this? Sorry, but I am really a beginner.0

Do you mean VectorLinux?
If so, look at this: http://distro.ibiblio.org/vectorlinux/docs/vl50/manuals/vl5_installation_guide_en.html#postinstall
Scroll down to: 5. The Installation Process Step by Step
Look at: Repair lilo (Linux Loader). This is a handy utility in case you have an installed Vector Linux, but somehow you cannot boot it because of corrupted LILO.
This may be what you need to use.
Please note that accepted wisdom says do not use a CD-RW! Use either a CD-R or possibly a USB stick.
