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.

that means that you got this message
because I expect that you are on the mailinglist that you ask.
(or least reads its archives)
