help with install of debian and speakup!?

[Tyler Littlefield]

hay,
sorry for all the problems. I got ahold of winiso, and extracted the immage 
to a folder. I coppied and pasted to my writable cd folder, and then burned 
the cd... boom, things seem to be working... sorta. I have a question 
though, when I try to use the boot disk, it says boot failed, and then 
returns me to the same old prompt we have been talking about. Is this thing 
rigged to go to drive d? if so, how do I set my jumper to one hard drive? I 
have two harddrives in that computer, and think that might be the problem.
