Sounds like the system isn't detecting your hard drive. The HDD error is coming from the BIOS, so the computer just doesn't see the drive. The setup doesn't see it either, of course.
Check your CMOS setup options. Try redetecting your hard drive to make sure that it is seeing it. If that doesn't work, make sure your cables are connected properly.
