This happened on my os installation too, i had a 500gb sata drive that i installed but for some reason the computer did not see my hd. When i did not see my hd it would give the same error message when i tried to install the os. When you start your machine make sure that it can see your hd, if not then taht is your problem. If not the it could be that your hd is wierdly partitioned? I would stick with seeing if your computer recognizes your hd
