Hello,

I have, using the instructions on Kali.org, created a 64bit Kali 1.0.5 USB.

Using parted magic i formatted the two hard drives in my PC, a 500gb laptop HDD and a 120gb standard HDD (with the impending clicking of doom)

500gb HDD: I go through the process according to the process outlined on Kali.org and it all goes well until the bootloader step. It gives me a message about being unable to write GRUB to /dev/sda/ and that it is a fatal error. I then try LILO and there is another error of a similar nature.

120gb HDD: Everything goes all fine apart from the fact that it is clicking.

Both have been formatted identically, no SMART errors. also tried formatting in the Kali live distro as a master boot record, still nothing.

System specs
i5-3570k
Radeon HD 7870
4gb RAM

Thank you
