I think it doesn't like the hardware, it's deffo fast enough! It installs and boots twice and then the blue screen everytime I've tried FAT32 and NTFS. I've even fdisked the MBR.

Says something about the Master Boot Record. I'm not gonna buy a new HD as it's only an old system i put togeter with the bits i took out of old comps. If someone wanted to buy it then i'd let it go
