Also just put in my brand new Western Digital Black 1TB 64 MB Cache hdd that arrived and i still have the same problem when it gets right before the splash to click install/repair screen it gives me the BSOD with the same error.
Widdower989, There is a way to change, but it really shouldn't matter. When you get to the where do you want to install windows, do you see tour hard drive, and how many do you see?
This is the hdd i bought:
WD BLACK SERIES WD1003FZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - Newegg.com
OK, you only list 1 hard drive in your system. If you have more drives, disconnect 1 of the wires from each one except the one you are installing windows to. Go into bios, look at your ram timings (just the first 4) look at the frequency and dram voltage. Make sure they are the same as the stickers on the side of the ram sticks or from the manufacturers packaging or web site. Set optimized defaults. Set the ram timings, voltage and frequency, set the DVD as 1st boot device and the hard drive as 2nd boot device. Put the installation DVD in the DVD drive, save and exit. You should boot into the DVD drive. On the first screen where it says pick your language, don't pick your janguage, hold down the shift key and press F10. You will get a black command window. Type diskpart and press enter, wait for it to respond diskpart. Type list disk and press enter, If you did as instructed above you will only have 1 disk listed, it will be disk 0 (number 0 not letter) type select disk 0 and press enter, it will respond that disk 0 is the selected disk. type clean and press enter. It will respond that diskpart has cleaned the selected disk. Type create partition primary size=200 press enter, it will respond that diskpart created the selected partition. type exit and press enter, type exit and press enter again. You should be back at the select your language screen. continue. when you get to the where do you want to install Windows, close the 1st partition. That's the one you just created. select that partition and click install and see what happens.
