Should I try and install anyway with this NLTDR message that appears? Does it matter if the BIOS has the hard drive as Primary Master and the DVD drive as Secondary Master?
For clarity, I'm installing a completely new drive (120 GB ATA 100 IDE) and there are no other drives connected to the motherboard, just two other dvd burners.
Would be grateful for any help, this is quite infuriating.

Hi Imaginator,
We would really like to give you assistance, but you need to copy this information in a new thread so you get personal help. It is so hard (at least for us old guys, cough) to keep two or three problems straight in a single thread.
Oh, I felt you did a nice job of explaining your situation, so post it and one of us will try to give you assistance. I don't know how long I would be around tonight (is getting late here after a long day), but would like to have you send me a link to your thread if you post a new one. When i am on, will try to take a look at your problem. Have a great evening.
In the meantime, start over, change the boot order and see what happens.
Here is some more help to take a look at:
