The boot sector will not be wiped if you wipe only the partition for Win7, and wiping the boot sector of possible corruption is the only known benefit of a Secure Erase wipe for install failures.
If you have three HD's why are you trying to manage a Dual Boot with XP on the same HD? For the third time now, plug in one of the other HD's and wipe it Secure Erase to try install: SSD - HDD Optimize for Windows Reinstallation
Then you will finally have completed the very first step we gave you pages ago.
