The problem could be that you are using the wrong cable for the hard
drives or are overclocking the system. I have seen similar problems
with a friend who used a 40 pin IDE cable on a newer Maxtor drive.
Using the correct 80 pin cable fixed his problems.
You might also have to copy the CD to a formatted drive and install from
there. This will eliminate problems with the CD drive.
