I can't explain why you were able to install linux but the CRC errors and win7 setup error both point to problems with the hard drive. It could be that the linux distro is smaller and not hitting the affected parts on the hard disk.
I would get hold of another hard disk to test it with. You might be right about the disk but I'd be very suspicious of it.

I have had this problem before. Look in your windows disk and find the HDD driver. You need to install that first and then you can install windows. Ubuntu/Linux installs the driver software automatically which is why they will install, but if you format your drive with windows it wipes out the driver.
