Based on your numerous checks of the hard disk, and it passing
everything, everytime, the disk is viable. Your problem is elsewhere.
Run a checksum on the original downloaded installation file, if your
still have it. Checksum the media you installed it to.
Are you installing UEFI or MBR boot option? Does your hardware support
UEFI? Depending on how old the system is, it may not. Are you
installing along with other OSes on the system intending to multiboot
them? Is Windows installed on the system?
Also, please, please, please don't top post. It makes it hard to follow
who's replying to whom about what.
