I purchased and OEM operating system and I have tried to install it on my computer that I built.  I looked at the steps that was provided on freepctech.com and the only thing that I noticed differently was that after the files were copied, the system rebooted and started to install the devices.  The problem that I am running into is that the Hard Drive shuts down during this installation.  I have spent most of my day racking my brain on how to figure out what is wrong, and everything that I try doesn't work.

I have tried starting out with the bare minimum to make sure that the components were operating correctly.  I have tried changing the settings in BIOS.  I even tried reformatting the Hard Drive.

If anyone could help me that would be great.

Thanks
