Does the machine boot OK from a live cd ?
Yes it does

It did occur to me that the HDD could have died. I've seen many instances where this has happened during an OS install.
The clue is that the machine runs perfectly from a live CD but fails to write to the HDD.
I use a USB caddy to check HDD's externally. In most cases the disc is not recognised, though I've had some that are but the HDD has been write locked. ie Read Only. In these cases they can sometimes be unlocked using the manufacturers utility.
HTH.
