    Any jumping ouy sygnus21 or others?
    We only get stumped when we don't get feedback on suggestions. With that said, have you tried what Bare Foot Kid suggested???

    Also, have you tried to manually set your memory settings to those posted on the memory modules?

    As to not offend...
    A Low level format is a "wipe", however I used your "how to" BFK as to not add addtional confusion.

    SO I have one brand new hard drive (1) 1TB freshly "WIPED" and (1) 500GB NIB hard drive. Which would you perfer we use folks?

    I skimmed the thread...so if it was covered...sorry...
    I know everything is new...but have you run MEMTEST on the RAM, one stick at a time.
    Bad RAM (yes, even factory new in the box) can cause all kind of havoc on a Windows install.

    Can you run Memtest on a PC without an OS?

    Yes, if you burn Memtest86 to a bootable CD.

    Memtest86.com - Memory Diagnostic

    What if you try the New 500gb HD only as SATA1 drive & only one memory stick installed.

    OKAY....

    SO while in the install menu I hit shift / F10 to diskpart

    When I hit clean all I get an error
    Diskpart has encountered an error: the request could not be preformed because of a I/O device error

    Download and burn to CD Seatools diagnostics/repair scan. Boot it to run an extended repair scan on the HD with all others unplugged. http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287

    Next open a Command Line on DVD to run Disk Check.

    Try cleaning the HD again, create an NTFS Primary partition and mark Active to try install again.

    You can also use free Partition Wizard bootable CD. First on Disk tab run HD Surface Scan, then Wipe the HD. Next partition the entire HD NTFS Primary with Win7 target partition marked Active, then rightclick each partition to Check File System. http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html

    Was this on the new HD or your first 1TB HD ?
