Would you like to give us a more detailed picture?
I mean, what was initial status of you hard drive? What with
partitions, do you re-partition the hard drive entirely? What kind of
install you are using (automated, expert)? Have you checked the laptop
BIOS if there any restrictions to write to hard drive MBR or any other
area of your hard drive? Have you checked the laptop BIOS for
different hard drive interfaces switch (e.g. SATA, PATA, SATA+PATA,
etc)?
