User Feedback :: dsl will not install from cd

I had great anticipation of a smooth intall of dsl, but what really goes all that well these days? So, I boot from the purchased cd all seems to be going well until the end where I get these error msg "unable to recognize" One being the hard drive.
This phase of the install runs by real fast then goes to black screen. After the negative install I am unable to connect to the internet. Have to reboot my modems (Vonage, Linksys wireless). Below is some info regarding my laptop. I was sure looking forward to limiting MS. Hope this forum can provide some guidance.
