Comments/Problems:
I have a dual boot set up using grub, with Debian Gnu/Linux 3.1 (sarge) and
Windows XP Home Edition (which was pre-installed on my computer.) I first
tried to install Debian using the 2.6 kernel and when I got to the
partitioning phase, received a message saying that no partitionable media were
found (that is, the installer could not identify my hard drive). But when I
tried again using the 2.4 kernel, there was no problem with partitioning and
the rest of the install went smoothly.
