What are the specs on the PC?
What format are using when you format the hdd Fat32 or NTFS/
If trying to install on a built in SATA HDD is it connected to SATA
connector #1 on the Motherboard?

If you are using a dual video card setup, try removing one of the cards
during installation.

Wise advice I think, Colin!
