Virus , bad hard drive or both

One thing no-one seems to have thought to ask.

What motherboard do you have and what type of drive?

I'm thinking that if you've got the motherboard set up for RAID mode, or it is a SATA drive and the motherboard doesn't present it as IDE compatible then you need to press F6 while setup is loading and provide the drivers before you can install windows.

If you haven't got the drivers you should be able to download them from the motherboard maker's site.
