Be sure to check a couple of things on the re-install:

In the Bios setup menu, go to the Boot Area:

Boot Order:

CDRom - 1st
Floppy - 2nd
Hard Drive - 3rd (the one you want to boot from)

Hard Drive Priority Area:

Be sure the Hard Drive you are trying to install on is listed FIRST

Note: Make sure your Raid option is turned off in the Bios setup menu to make sure it is not looking for a raid drive.

Don't forget to save before you exit if you make any changes.

Please list your specs so we know what we are dealing with in the way of a motherboard and the type and brand name drive.
