Welcome to the forums :emotion-21:
It's very strange that two different OS give you exactly the same errors?
Can you confirm you're (quick-) reformatting the hard drive each time, before reinstalling the OS?

Try booting from the Dell Dimension Resource CD and running the hard drive diagnostics (at the least). It sounds like a problem with bad sectors on the drive itself are preventing the OS files from properly copying.

I'd suggest a memory test then, since that (and the motherboard) is the other key component to copying data from one drive to another.
