@GREGROCKER, I followed as close as my system would allow.
The BIOS does not me allow a one time boot of a device. I left the boot list as default with the following order:
Disk
DVD
Network
USB
If I have the USB installed it eventually finds it and allows me to boot from that device or, after install has completed, from the disk.
It's my sisters computer so no recovery disk (either she never made one or she lost the one it came with or both).
Am using the ISO image from heidoc.net so can make a bootable USB or DVD.
I will try the following then update the post:
1. before each install >diskpart clean
2. try with USB stick and remove it on first reboot.
3. create bootable install DVD and try the install.
4. follow SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation and perform the installation.
