Does it come up to the part where you have to press F8 to agree to the terms?? Or it starts to format then restarts??

What if you delete the partition/s or whatever comes up in setup then create the partition again? then install windows?

What drivers? Are they SATA drivers?

You shouldn't need any.. Since this is an IDE drive if there's an AHCI option in the BIOS, disable it. Save settings then try again
