Ok so ive tired it with 2 diff hard drives and 2 diff windows cd's and im having the same problem.One is a 40G WD drive and other is a 120g WD drive.
After i repartition and format the drives setup copys files over for windows install and then when it goes to reboot to start the install it just goes right back to the setup screen and never finds a boot record on IDE0.
None of these drives require raid or sata drivers.Both drives work in a second computer and have used that one to format it also and still same problem.Ive tried Fixmbr and all other tools in windows recovery and still wont boot after it installed the setup files.Just keeps going right back to the windows setup sceen.Then if i try to install the OS without formating after it copyied the setup files it says that there is already a OS on the disk.I cant think of anything that could be causing this on 2 diff drives.I havent wrote zeros yet thats my next step but anyone else have any ideas.
