Can't install win 7 64 bit on new drive

[innskeeper]

I am currently running on a seagate 320 gb drive with vista 32bit and all is well. I wanted more storage and also wanted to move up to win 7 so I bought a seagate 2tb drive and a win 7 64bit (full version) disk to install on the new drive. I hooked up the new drive on sata 4 while my drive with vista on it is on sata1 and an LG blu ray drive on sata 2. I've changed the boot priority in the bios to boot from cd first but when it does it says their is an I/O error. I've disconnected the new drive and rebooted to see no problem booting into vista from my original hdd. I've tried several other things trying to get this to work but don't seem to be able to figure this out.
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

What mode is the SATA currently in, AHCI or IDE mode? Can you change it and see if it makes a difference?

Sata has been in both and still can't get anywhere

You could try copying all the files from your Win 7 disk to a USB flash drive and install from it. The flash drive will be bootable and the install will be faster.

Put the new drive on Sata 1 and disconnect your old drive for now. See if it makes any difference.

Wow! after trying several scenarios of swapping sata ports I found when I connected my blu ray drive to sata 1 then the 2tb hdd on 2 and the vista drive on 3 I finally got it to boot into win 7 disk and loaded it onto my drive and got what I needed.
