Chris, How about putting the hard drive from the bad machine into the good machine and trying to install onto it there? The other thing would be to get hold of a low level disk repair program and run it on the disk from the suspect machine. If you install the Linux as the only OS on the machine it should reformat the whole disk and probably get rid of any problems generated on there by windoze.
