First of all I would format the drive by writing "0`s" to it with a good disk utility. This will completely wipe the drive in a way that just formating will NOT do. Some viruses don`t like it when you try to format. This way you can be SURE there are no viruses on board.
Secondly install a factory burnt cd ( you can always install something later ) , if all works fine with factory burnt cd then you know it is an installation problem.
If at this point it is not working correctly then you can almost be sure it is hardware not software.
Good Luck I always keep windows 98 handy for testing purposes.
