If it initialises it should be ok - have you tried testing it with
HD Setup - also try the full wipe with the initialisation options of low
level format and zero all data - this should bring to light any bad
sectors.
Are you installing from a boot cd? Sometimes an install from a non
boot cd will be corrupted by background processes whereas a boot cd loads
only the minimal extension set for installation - you can get around this
by creating a new set in the extension manager which loads only the cd
reader - reboot the HD - insert the cd and install.
