Couple things....
-make sure your drive is formatted, including the MBR
-make sure it is partitioned
-try installing with as little peripherals as possible plugged in (sound card, nic, etc.) Once windows is installed, add things one by one.

This may seem odd, but I had a similar problem a few years ago installing W2K.
Make sure you have the right cable for the drive you are installing on. I had a cable with the black connectors, and W2K would not install. I used the cable with the blue connectors, and voila. Problem solved.

If none of that works, zero write the hd, and then format it.
