Hello ving and welcome to Mint forums.
It is absolutely necessary to boot to your installation media to get your system specs:
System reports --> System Information --> Press "Copy" --> Paste here into a new post or edit your original.
Next, open Terminal and execute lsblk -f. Post the output of this command enclosed in "code" tags (pick the </> symbol from the message/reply toolbar) too.
I noticed you tried to install Mint in legacy mode (not UEFI). Installer does not detect any previously installed OS though half your storage is occupied by a "RAID" (raid in a laptop with a single storage drive?). This doesn't bode well.
But please, first, POST the required info, then only elaborate on the quirks of your installation.

If you did it in the past on this same computer, you can install LMDE 5, run all the updates, and then upgrade in place to LMDE 6 with the mint upgrade program.

The part I highlighted seems unusual.

MiZoG also requested you provide the output of

lsblk -f

run in a terminal with the results enclosed in code tags.

the main hard disk on which I would like to install lmde 6 is the 1tb one, while the other hard disk you see is 250 gb and usb, start the lmde 6 live for the installation. I did the same procedure with lmde 5

Is that the one with Windows (sda)? I see an ntfs volume (sda1), but it only has the one partition. You need to shrink the size of the Windows partition to make space for an install of anything else on that disk if you want to have both Windows and LMDE 6.

I did the same procedure with lmde 5

I don't understand what this means, but we'll let MiZoG give you feedback on the information they requested.

The partition you read as ntfs is in that format because I tested the hard disk, which is also new, after I installed lmde5 for the first time on May 23, then lmde6 came out. But in the 1tb hard disk, I want to install only lmde6. today I tried installing lmde6 on the 1tb disk again, I only created three swap, root and home partitions. but after the installation is complete lmde6 does not start, a black screen remains at startup.

You have a computer with UEFI so you need to set up your system properly to use it. The disk needs to be formatted for GPT and when you make your partitions you will want to be making an /efi partition as well as the other ones.

I do not normally help with those types of issues so I cannot provide further information.
