You should be able to install to the 1tb Sata Segate if it is the only drive connected. and the bios is set to recognize SATA as IDE. Boot set to boot first from DVD Drive.

We've seen a lot of issues with Asus mother boards, here are some of the suggestions that have worked.
First suggestion, go to your BIOS and turn off the Quiet & Cool, we've seen this cause a lot of installs to fail.
What is your Plug and play setting in BIOS?
Have seen a lot of problems with RAM in the x64, maybe the same in x86, you can try taking out all but one RAM card.
Any Over Clocking of the RAM, CPU or GPU?
Reset to defaults.
Disconnect all peripherals except monitor, keyboard and mouse.
Try the installation with the above suggestions.
Are you using a DVI cable?
Try using a VGA if you can.

Some more interesting notes:
Vista which I have installed successfully on this computer will not install now and I get the same error 0x80070241. On my Sata or an old 80GB IDE drive. This goes for Win7 too. I cannot install this yet on a SATA, IDE, or even flash drive.
My only thoughts are something with my mobo or other hardware? (I did do what you said Dave with the quiet & cool, as well as minimal hardware.)
It perplexes me that Vista now won't install either on a clean WinXP install (and the WinXP is a retail copy). Vista is a copy I have used 2 times already on this machine, I got free from a college I attend part time as part of their student software program. This is the first time that has ever happened that Vista gives me the same error as Win7.
My only thoughts are to stop everything and wait til I upgrade to a newer machine in a year or two and sit on XP... what is frustrating is that even if I want to do Vista, it won't let me anymore even though a few months ago it was no issue.
