Question by Heat Fan: Brand new custom built computer, “A disk error has occured….”?
I built my own computer with parts, and attempted to install different operating systems like Vista. The first attempt was with Vista, and I got the “Cannot install the hard drive, 0×80300001 error”. I rebooted a couple times to see if it would work, but i didn’t work. Then I tried to install Windows XP. The files were all installed I think, but when it restarted the computer, I got the screen, “A disk error has occured, press Ctrl Alt Dlt to restart.”
What is the problem and how do I fix it?
Remember this is a BRAND NEW computer. All new parts, all new hard drive.

Your hard drive is most likely DOA (dead on arrival). You need a new one.

Sounds like your hard drive is bad. Take it back and get a replacement.
..
Do not take it back to the store because they will charge you for it cn get fixed take it to its main source like a windows computer just call customer help from the website microsoft.com and look for customer care.
If you have the correct RAID drivers installed i would say that you are not installing the operating system correctly or the hard drive is defective.
you were trying to install vista and then XP and the programs have got mixed up in the hard drive.
please install only Win XP Pro after a “complete format” of the hard disk, not a “quick format”
