Your mobo is more than likley shot, or possibley your CPU, are you getting any kind of beep codes?

Sounds like your motherboard if you can't post now. Same thing just happened to me a few days ago, and now I'm waiting for a new one.

Sounds like you may be trying to install HD with previous install of Windows.

If the previous install of windows was done on a system with different hardware, i.e., mobo you are likely experiencing driver conflicts.

If this is the case, I always reformat/reinstall.

Otherwise, here is an article on how to do it w/o a reinstall LINK

If I have misunderstood, please consider taking your time to post a more carefully written and detailed explaination.
