    could it be that the cd/ source ur installing from is damaged/corrupt?

    you tried other cd or whatever?

    searched a bit.

    Likely causes are:
    Dodgy BIOS
    ainti-virus not disabled (if applicable)
    try reducing memory amount and retry
    faulty L2 cache.

    The most popular reason tho was RAM.
    You said it was ok tho.

    there is probably anti virus protection in the BIOS, all that means is that it will not allow the bootsector of the hdd to be written to.

    disable it in the cmos setup.
