You shouldn`t have to do this but.......

Make and use a Partition Wizard Boot cd to set up the partitions on the new drive. If you want 1 large partition then just do that. Then install windows on that partition. PW never fails.

Partition Wizard Bootable CD allows user to manage partition directly with partition manager bootable CD.

Are you positive you are burning the iso file to the dvd properly ?

Use Wintobootic to put your iso file on the flash drive, it works perfectly.

WiNToBootic bootable usb drive windows vista/7/8 - Bootable USB | Bootable USB

I downloaded the wintobootic and no matter what ISO i try to mount it won't let me even the official ones from Digital River aren't working.

I also tried to take a stab at the cloning/partioning with EaseUS and once the partioning copy starts it hangs at 1% forever and I mean 2 hours ez so I cancelled it.

UPDATE: I copied a fresh ISO from DigitalRiver to usb using Wintoboot and the error I am getting now is "unable to create partition". Again I will state the DiskPart commands did not work the CLEAN command throws an I/O error. Also when I delete the partitions that are showing during the fresh install where you pick destination drive, I pick NEW and then FORMAT and it says unable to format drive.

I ran every test available to me on my Seagate 1TB HDD and it passed every single without a hiccup. I am honestly tired of dealing with this new rig as it's the only one that I've built that has ever given me problems.

Let me know when you're ready to start the steps I gave you. Have been waiting patiently.

alrighty as it turns out the hot swap bays on my Obsidian 800D were bad. I connected the drive directly to the board without any kind of bridge and install went smooth as butter. Thanks for all the help though maybe I should've tried that first...oh well.
