sounds like a bad hard drive! A sector isn't reading properly once install is complete. Sometimes win7 detects the hd is bad but not always. Explain further please!

you could try downloading PARTED MAGIC (FREE) and running the disc check features!

try to partition the harddrive and then load windows on the second partition.

What a.psycho said. Partitioning the drive and installing on the second might work to install win 7, but you will still need to sort out the problem with bad sectors (if that is the problem) afterwards.
