If i remember correctly you do not need the SATA driver for the 7100. If it did HP would have included the floppy image here

Where does it lock up at?

Try changing the bios to 'Combined IDE' , Run Setup <F10> -->Storage -->Storage Options -->set SATA Emulation/Configuration to 'Combined IDE.

When you power up your PC press the button "f10" this will get you into bios.
Then goto the option "storage" press enter
then to the option "storage option" then "set sata" change the Emulation/Configuration option to "Combined IDE"
save the settings.Reboot and try to install windows again.
Hope it works.
