[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1607771, member: 175845"] If the OP is going to "nuke & pave" the original boot drive volume anyway, I'd suggest using the option to zero out the drive when doing the erase. That old drive is probably failing and has bad blocks which the zero out option will map out so that they don't get used with a new install. [/QUOTE]
