I would say that this won't work, mainly because the install program can't use the hard disk to hold data needed for the install, because it needs to do rather invasive things to the hard disk (partition, format, etc.). Also, what OS did you use to copy the data to the hard disk? Windows? If so, the install is certainly not going to read a Windows partition during the install. (It could in theory, but I'm sure it isn't designed to do that in practice.) You need to prepare CDs in the form that the install expects them, which is what the ISO images are. How and if you can convert what you have to ISOs I have no idea.
