So I have a HDD with factory recovery OS disc installed and working pretty well.
I installed it about 2 years ago and have managed to maintain it pretty well, except
an occasional KDE error. Anyways I am trying to use the same disc from HP to set up a
new hardrive with free OS. I used EASEUS Partition Manager to set up new drive. Have sata
ports in correct order and still cant get installation to complete. I have tried about 4 times,
each time It stops at a different spot. Last night it ran both discs and when reboot required
to start installation, it said installation couldnt start, start over. One time it made it almos
all the way threw and was tying to do som king of logviewer??? or something for 100hrs. I could
minimize and get to desktop, I scratched that install tho. This is driving me crazy, I am not conserned
about the PC working anymore I just want to know why this is happening. Hardwar issues???
Tried ) Different HDD's/Different DVD drive/ Made new recovery media and ran it/ Set everyrthing just right
Wired PS/2 KEY and Mouse/ Master DVD/secondary HDD/ UGGGGGGG. HELP!!!!!

If I read the procedure correctly (and I just did for the first time), that appears to be the correct process.
