I think you need to go back and do all the steps in post #23, especially cleaning the HD and defining a Primary NTFS partition which you mark Active.
If that fails again then test the HD with the maker's HD Diagnostic extended CD scan, as you may have a failing HD. If your maker doesn't have a tool for this use Seagate Seatools burning the DOS ISO to CD using Windows Image Burner. Seatools likely won't be able to repair the HD but it can diagnose it.
