For what it is worth, I used the same DVD and am now doing a fresh install on a

but I thought it ought to mention.
IMO, the easiest thing to do would be to boot a LiveCD and use the disk tools to
examine the partition tables and then to remove them all and relabel the disk.

Ed:

Though I appreciate the suggestion, I can't get any further progress once I do the install to hard drive option ... its does the same "No usable disks" message (and therefore no option to try anything).

Tried the troubleshooting options and still no progress. I did see the memtest86 option and, though it sure looks like its my hard disks that are out-of-whack as they are only partly formatted, I figured I'd run the test just so I don't have to say "pilot error" because there's a problem there.
