Grub 0.97 is Grub Legacy which hasn't been used on most major Linux distributions for years and if you are getting that message booting from the hard drive, then there must have been and install of some older Linux at some point. Do you have any operating system on this computer now? If so, what is it?
If you are unable to boot your windows installer from the usb, you might be better off at a windows forum as it is a windows problem. Posting more details on what you have might help as there are a number of members here who are familiar with it.
