I've had this problem before.  I think it may be your harddisk which is causing
it not to run.  At the moment I have got two harddisks, when I first got ICR I
installed it on one of them and I couldnt get it to work.  I did everything you
did (boot up from disk etc) but to no avail.  In the end, I'm not sure why I did
it, but I decided to try it on my second harddisk and to my suprise it worked.

The harddisk it didn't work on was a Quantum while the one it did work on was a
Seagate.  But my friend has got it working on a Quantum so I'm really confused.
It may have something to do with your IRQ's or something.

I hope this helps in some way, but I'm not entirely sure that this is your
problem though.
