So when you deleted partition and created a new one, It defaulted to the "I" ?

no when i installed the new harddrive there was only 1 unpartioned spot and along lsit of removeable drives, so i partitiond the drive and installed windows well it installed on drive I: and drive c-h are removable for somereason

I would start over If that were me.
Also make sure you have your HDD on the primary cable.

Do you have one of those all in one media card readers? If you do thats most likely whats causing all the removable drives to be created. I would also double check the jumpers on teh hd and make sure it is master. Do you have any other hds in this computer?
