You have new hardware (SATA disks)
but you use old software (Woody CD)
The trick is to use recent software
you find it at http://www.nl.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
You will probaly also need to type 'linux26' before you continue,
but that is explained in the F1-keys screen after CD-ROM boot.

With some luck you understand it,
that means that you got this message

(or least reads its archives)
