So, today I got all my parts to assemble my very first computer. After the assembling job, I moved on to the Windows 7 OS installation. I was happy it was ending, but I got a surprise

"Unexpected I/O error"

It tells me things about damaged hardware but the only hardware plugged in to my computer are:
Western Digital 1TB HDD and an ASUS DVD writer, nothing else. These hardware are perfectly recognized by the BIOS, so I really don't know what the issue is. I even tried it with Windows XP, but now I got a 0x000007b (or something similar to that). There is no GPU installed yet, cuz I haven't got it yet (I assume I can use the intel hd 4600 onboard one)

Any help is very appreciated,

many thanks

Other info:
ASUS Z87-C
Intel Core i5 4670
2x Corsair DDR3 4GB RAMs

HDD ain't damaged, I've double checked it.
cannot test the DVD writer cuz I only have one but I assume it's working perfectly (1 day old & it's reading the DVD...)
