Oh no... that looks right.

From your partition table, there is no windows installed on that HDD. If you originally had windows installed there, then it has been erased.

You could try adding:

(hd1) /dev/sda

... to that device.map (This will at least bring it in line with the fdisk result.)

This is assuming that this is the windows drive.
Since this seems to be a very old arcade machine, it is possible that the main windows installation is on an SCSI drive. However, if I were you, I'd open that thing up and physically eyeball the components.

Exactly what are you installing to?
