    After several more unsuccessful trials the set up was accepted without the previous errors. I bought a small SSD disk for the SO alone and copied one previous installation with a tool from Acronis from a link recommended in the box.

    After this I lost the booting on the other drives. I have to remake the boot. It will not be easy because I pass years without doing that. I am attaching the volume list, but please don't pay attention for the labels. At the moment everything is up side down on my computer. It is strange the 1TB disk (B and F on the volume list) are acceded on the OS, but do not show in the BIOS. The same with the SSD.

    According setupacct log, you probably didn't follow recommendations:
    - your harddisk is connected to port 5
    - install has not been run from optical media.
    Please correct this and try again.
    It is in a small case and the connectors on motherboard are not very easily accessible.

    Sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience.


    Update: It stopped booting form the installation DVD or flash drive. The error message points to BCD.
