Installed system so many times



Hi, I've installed my base system and repartitioned my disk with cfdisk innumerable times. Now I have problems.

Once when I repartitioned cfdisk I got a message that the boot floppies were not designed to install over a previously installed system. But by this time it was too late for me I done it already. Another message I got is that after repartitioning should reboot, then there was a warning message that rolled past my screen too quick for me to read it.

Now when I go to do a reinstall the setup won't allow me to mount or initialize a partition except for swap.  Is there a way out to succesfully install Debian from here?  How can it be done?

More information, last time I was doing my install I installed base system form http and it couldn't fetch one file and so I went back and did an install via cdrom.  That didn't work out. 

Your help is appreciated.  If you require more information I will do my best to provide it.  Thank you.
