Installation from windows partition

[Woodrow Lovett]

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.
