Have you tried mounting the iso on the existing system and using
sysinstall to partition and install 7.0 on the new hard drive?
There may be a problem with the ide controller or ide cable. Have you
tried swapping cables?
You could also do a minimal 6.3 install with no additional packages as
you say that cd works. Then do 'freebsd-update -r 7.0-RELEASE
upgrade'. See the man page on freebsd-update. Afterwords either
pkg_add -r, sysinstall, or use the ports to install packages.
