Yes but it might be that I can't format the c drive (hitachi) that came with a different tower that had already had windows 7 on it

you were actually wrong. the mother board was DOA i got a replacement and it booted just fine. and you can use a hdd with windows from a different pc it just has to uninstall old drivers and reinstall the new ones.
