Uh, no.  First off, the images MUST be named shrike-i386-disc1.iso,
shrike-i386-disc2.iso and so on.  The installer looks for those
specific names.

Second, you need to figure out which partition Windows used to store
them on when you copied them.  From what you're showing above, that's
/dev/hda5.

So, make sure the images are named properly, then simply tell the
installer to look at /dev/hda5 (or whatever partition Windows used).
