Hi Slipsilk, Welcome to Windowsbbs!

Since this is a clean install, I would format the drive again and perform the clean installation but this time unplug the hard drive that you don't want Windows to install onto. This way Windows 7 will install properly on the hard drive that is active in your system.

Also please enter your System Details. It helps us in answering your questions.

Note: A common error is to forget to show your System Details in your profile:

To have your system specifications displayed in your profile, you have to click the link Edit Options, and under Thread Display Options< System Specifications select Yes from the drop-down menu.

Make sure to do the above when entering your System Details, thanks.
