Re: Installation from windows partition

If C: is the first partition of that HD then I would try /dev/hda1.
I am not sure whether what you are trying should work but I did not 
install for a long time so I guess you follow a procedure you have
read or heard about.

In dselect i made the selection of a harddisk to install from. I have down loaded the packages into a file folder named project along with a-out. this folder is located in C:\MyDocuments\project\dpkg.

dselect ask for a block device., Which I assume to be the harddrive i.e.:hda or some other name in linux. Upon all entries so far, the program informs me that It is not a block device.

If someone knows how this is done please advise.
