precisely. And it formats the entire drive. Quick cuts some corners which one should not do when preparing a disk for an operating system.
You might get away with a quick instead of a full, but I do not take chances.

Can you reboot and go into the BIOS? See if there is a there is a test you can run on the hard drive to check its health.
If you don't want to take that route, you could download Seatools and burn it to another CD, boot from it and run a full test on the drive.:
SeaTools | Seagate
It may even be advisable to check your memory via another iso download at: http://www.memtest.org/download/4.20...+-4.20.iso.zip

Boot the DVD again, open a Command line as before, wipe the disk with Diskpart Clean Command.
Then when you get to the drive selection screen during install, just press Next to let installer create and format the partition for you.
If it errors again, post back the exact error text verbatim.
