I'm sorry, I've lost track of what you are trying to do here in this
thread. OBviously, you're trying to install and having problems. Don't
sweat the X failing to start issue, that can likely be solved. But

I'm guessing you can't see the sata drive that you want to install to? 
Many others have solutions for this problem, check the archives. You
might need a newer kernel to see the sata drives properly. SOrry I
can't be of more help, maybe others can chime in.
