Comments/Problems:
I tryed to install from DVD and the first CD. None of them worked while
booting from CD or DVD.
Tryed out the win-installer from http://www.goodbye-microsoft.com. After
reboot he loaded the installer but i could not connect
to the internet i think because of my secured wlan. Also it wants to
install debian on my windows partition not on my free partition.

It is not that surprising that Sarge images don't work with your hardware.
The Sarge kernel does not properly support a large range of recent
systems.
You also downloaded images for the wrong architecture: ia64 is _not_ for
current intel 64-bits processors. For that you need the amd64
architecture. The 32-bits i386 architecture will also work.
I strongly suggest that you try one of the Etch installer images from [1].

Note that not all wireless drivers are supported during installation
because many wireless drivers are non-free or require firmware.

The installer supports a lot of different partitioning options. Basically
you _can_ install Debian anywhere you like. If you really do have free
space on your disk, the first partitioning option will show "Use largest
free space". If not, you will have to select "manual partitioning" and
either set things up manually (don't forget to create a swap partition)
or create free space and then select the "guided partitioning" option.
Closing this report. Feel free to file a new report if you try again with
the Etch installer images.
Cheers,
