How can this be a partition list. What you are showing is the list of
disks attached.

Again, you say you're trying to install debian on hdc and hdd.

hda -- Primary Master
hdb -- Primary Slave
hdc -- Secondary Master
hdd -- Secondary Slave
These are all disks.
Partitions in gnulinux (and might be other *nixes too) are like this:
/dev/hda1
/dev/hda2
/dev/hda5
/dev/hda6

Here hda1 and hda2 are Primary partitions whereas hda5 and hda6 are
logical partitions. Do some googling on Linux Partition Scheme.

HTH,
