Help!
Every times I created any partitions it (the partition/s)
eventually read as unformatted or damaged.
It doesn't let me format it (the drive) and move on to the
installation of the operating system stage.
I even tried to format my whole drive space as a single
primary partition it still won't let me.

....it usually end with the message it can't install, it
must now exit...or something is corrupted.
 
If you are using ATA-66 or faster drives, make sure you
have an ATA-66 compliant 80 conductor IDE cable attached
to that drive.
If the problem persists
1) Use: http://www.memtest86.com to check the RAM
2) Perform a surface test on the disk using IBM Drive
Fitness Test, available from Hitachi or IBM.
