If you have the prefab concrete walls, they are VERY hard. To drill concrete, you really need a hammer drill and/or allot of patience. I hit rebar when mounting my tv, but must of edged it and the drill went on drilling. Only idea I would have if you hit a steel bar head on would be to move the spot of drilling a little one way or the other. Alternate would be to use a standard metal bit to try and get through the steel portion, then resume a concrete bit. Good luck
