help installing win7 pls

Im having issues with 32 bit windows 7 system.

It first started freezing, couldn't reach the main desktop screen.
Tried doing the boot priority but it froze many times.

I changed the RAM and now it does not freeze and lets me go much further then used to before.
But im now having different issues and it looks like my internal hard drive is gone bad.
Maybe some of you will know.

As i was starting to install win 7, it reached the screen where it asks where do you want to install windows 7? But it was empty and showed no partitions.

This is what i see in the following pictures and is now asking me to browse for folder to select driver. Im not sure what to do from here.

primary ide master - none

going to check if cables actually connected

is it possible to jump to 64bit from 32? if buying new hdd or using same hdd if repaired?

cables are connected

It shows that your HDD is not detected.... Try to connect all power and IDE cables to HDD properly..
Hope it helps

Reply to address post #6... The desktop is 32bit... I'd like to nice to to a 64bit. Is it possible?

Ok comptech I will try connect it again and see. But the last time I checked the ide and power cable were connected to the hard drive.

Change it to 64bit*
