One thing you might try is the IDE cable. I had a friend's computer go out twice last week, and we had no fucking idea why. It ended up that his IDE cable was faulty and that *most* of the information was tranferring correctly.
Take one new IDE cable, one format, one fresh install, and a glass of lemonade and call me in the morning.
