is it possible that you are directing the install program to set your boot
sector into the dos (hda1) partition?

NEVER, I Say NEVER, run Scandisk.
It makes more errors than i fixes.
If your PC is going slow, format the drive or delete the partition, and
install Linux again!!
Microsoft Scandisk should NEVER have been invented..!

maybe the defrag is running scandisk, and auto settings are set to repair
the boot sector?

Partition table before defrag:
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2491 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1657 13309821c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda2 1658 2491 6699105
There are a couple of different reasons for this. First, make sure you're
not filling your harddrive to full - defrag re-arranges stuff by picking up
blocks and putting them at the end of the drive and moving stuff back - if
you're harddrive is more than %80 full, that makes the job much slower.
Ok, a few comments here...
Clicked OK to a few things and it comes to the partitioning tool.
I resized my 20 gig windows partition down to around 13 to 15 gigs, and
clicked "Auto Allocate" and it automatically created 4 partitions.( swap,
root, usr, home, or whatever order it was).
First, I

Running in safe mode will slow your disk access down a lot. Run defrag from
within windows and it will be much quicker. It might even cure your problem.
In safe mode windows is not very smart! If you need to use windows,
consider going to windows ME,

So a hardware problem would be completely missed by SMART and a clean FULL
format and a thorough scandisk and a defrag that results in erasing the
linux partition?
If your controller was acting up this could easily cause such a
problem.
I would love to know how a hardware error would
