First of all, sorry my bad English :-)

Please help me with these problem:

Few days ago I've installed my "new" hd (conner 1080mb) in my computer. It's
splitted in three partions: 1 primary (dos fat 16) e 2 logical for linux (1
native e 1 for the swap). Both the hds are on the primary Eide channel (the
old one is a Ibm 1700mb as master, three partitions fat 16), while the cd
(Creative infra1800) is on the secondary channel as master. During the first
step of the installation with Debian 1.3 distribution I haven't problems...all
the hardware was founded (except the sound card but is a SB32AWE); the
problems start when I reboot the system for the second step of installation
(when the packets must be installed): the led of the Cd is always light, all
the commands on the front don't work and the cd seems died....I can't continue
the installation.
Obviously the cd has no problem under M$-dos and Window$.

Here is the messagges that are displayed during the boot of the second step of
installation:
