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.
