The bios really don't show many options for me to change as far as HD settings. I was thinking about picking up a hard drive just to try and fix it with it. But I really do not want to buy a new HD and find out that is not the issue. But that may be what I got to do. I have tried all kinds of things suggested on the net. Tried formatting and installing windows 2 more times to have it do the same thing everytime. I am hoping this is not a motherboard issue as a new 80$ hard drive would be a giant waste then.

If it was a desktop I would have parts around but this is a laptop with a 2.5" sata hard drive. I can not put a 3.5" sata hard drive in it to test it out. Seems the only way to test it out is to invest in a HD.
