  I have been trying to build a Home Server from an old VAIO PCV-RX755 w/ 1TB of IDE HDD... after a few weeks of trouble shooting various instability & Blue-Screen issues I decided to try the install on a new(er) PC;
  
  HP Pavillion a1710n
  AMD Athalon 64 x2 Dual Core 4200+
  4GB RAM
  320GB HDD (SATA)
  nVidia GForce 6150LE
  
  The install cannot even complete.  I have tried multiple times now for 2 days and the machine keeps getting hung up on the "Formating Volume" stage.  I cannot even install the WHS OS!!
  
  Anybody know what the problem might be?
  
  Also, I've downloaded the WHS w/ PP1 ISO and burned it to disc as well as ordered the trial version from MSFT.  I get the same result with both discs on both machines that I attempted to install on.  The VAIO is plagued w/ Blue Screen issues and the HP cannot make it past the "Formatting" stage of install.
  
  HELP!?!
