I get this error now :c000221 unknow hard error

because it is a brand new hard drive it will obviously not be formated to any filing system (eg. FAT32 or NTFS), when you are installing the OS in the blue screen it will prompt you to format the hard drive on either a quick or full format for NTFS or FAT32, choose full NTFS and then carry on with the install, and you should be fine ..

I did that but during the installation, I reset the computer because I forgot to creat two partition on the same drive and now I can't get to the format screen. So I need to format it, I don't even know the new drive letter. I'm so fvcked :|

Restart the system and setup with the XP CD, then simply delete the partition, and recreate it..
