Trouble Builiding up new PC, errors at installation start. Need urgent help!!

Hi all, I need urgent solution of this problem. This is a special request so please reply urgently to this query.
One of my friends had bought and Intel D865GBF/D865PERC motherboad with 3.0 GHz processer, 256 MB of DDR RAM and 80 G.B 7200 RPM Seagate Barcuda H.D.D.
The trouble is the installation process dosen't starts, whenever try to install Windows 2000 or XP we get errors when installation is starting and then its stops. The errors are;

Code:

 *** STOP: 0X00000000A (0X0000108, 0X0000002, 0X00000001, 0X80445C66)
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
***Addresss 80445C6 base at 804000000, Date Stamp 384d5a76 - ntoskrnl.exe

OR the other error

Code:

 KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED.
***Address 804D994A base at 80400000, Date Stamp 389d5a76

One important thing is I tried to use this hard drive along with my as secondry on my system but the system dosen't starts up.
Whats the real problem, is it with BIOS, RAM or Hard drive or the board itself because other Hard Drives are not working on that PC.
I think there is some kind of virus in Hard drives boot sector, or in RAM or BIOS if this is then how to clean them. I dont know the process.
Any help will be greatly apprecieted

I'd start by testing the memory with [google]Memtest[/google], and run it for a good 3-5 hours to make sure it gets a work out. If you don't turn up any errors, the RAM is probably fine. If it is, you may have a bad stick, or too tight of timings.

The other thing I'm curious about is the power supply. What unit do you have---the brand and model along with the specs would be helpful.

 

I'm a little confused please clarify. Are you using this drive as a backup or secondary to your main drive? Or, are you using this drive as the main drive? Was the hard drive new or used? If the drive is new and you're using it as your main drive did you format it? If you're using it as a secondary drive have you partitioned the drive so that your main drive will recognize it?

I'm using this drive as my main drive and I also partioned and formated it.

 

Aqeel, Good Morning to you. It's 5:00 a.m. here in good ole' Montana. Next question, You say you formatted and partitioned the drive which is great however, did you set the parameters for the drive before you did any of the above? I do a complete reboot every 3 months, on my computers. Every once in a while if I don't set the parameters right for the drive I'm working on I will get something very similiar to what you have. Basically, you start all over from scratch. Zyhotie
