This is what I have done, but right after the builder has binished, I start a hyper terminal session and here is the boot result:

As far as I can understand, the HD is not correctly formatted. So is there an understandable and a comprehensive step by step procedure to format manually the HD ? I really dont have any knowledge in lunix...
