The setup says that it cannot find your hard drive.
Restart your computer and press DEL or F1 or whatever enters you into setup. Look at the names of the primary or secondary devices. Look for one that starts with 80000 or something close to that. If your hard drive is not listed, then proceed below, if it is, then try setup again.
You will have to turn off your computer and do the following:
Open your computer
Look at your hard drive, make sure power and sata cables are securely fit into the connectors.
Put case on, restart setup.
If your comp still does not recognize the hard drive, then it is a faulty hard drive, and it will have to be replaced.

Make sure that the CD/DVD drive is the first boot drive in your BIOS settings.
