    Now it really sounds like a hardware issue. Go back to the basics and make sure that CMOS shows all your devices, that your HD is set to Master by Jumper and that your Primary IDE is showing your HD while booting. Also take the suggestion of jfpolo and verify that your CD or DVD-Rom drive is on your Secondary IDE and set as Master on that IDE in CMOS as well as set to Master by Jumper on the rear. HD needs to be on the Black Plug of your HD and the Blue Plug on the MB. Same for your CD or DVD.

    Don't assume it is. Double check it.

    IT DOESNT matter the order of divices beacuse your are installing win and the problem occurd in final stages of instalation which means is not likely the dvd,hdd order the hdd is doin what suppose to (copy files) so either check your win cd or what i toll you before the ddr sticks!
