problem with the debian installation

[Lorenzo Foti]

Hi,
I'm trying to install Debian on my pc but it doesn't work.
I choose the language and then the installation process stops.
I look at the log file and theese is the last line:

user.info dbootstrap[76]: mount: mounting /dev/hdd on /instmnt failed: no
medium found

user.debug dbootstrap[76]: /instmnt was not mounted so it was unmounted

user.debug loading message catalog /etc/messages.en

any idea?
It seems that nobody can solve this problem...
maybe I have to change distro.

Thank You
Bye

The install program can't see hdd. Can you mount it from whatever other
OS you are using?

Could you format or partition it?

/dev/hdd should be the slave on the second IDE Controller, might
be a CD-ROM and the installer is looking for the install CD? Unsure,
I don't use debian...
