Comments/Problems:
This system use to have a Red Hat system on hdb and a Windows system on hda
with a small - about 2 mb fat32 on hdb. The hardware for hda failed, was
replaced and rebuilt except for the dual boot access. It was decided to
rebuild the Linux system with Debian. All crit1cal data will be restored
after the rebuild of the Linux system. I want to keep the partitions the
same size and rebuild into the same space on hdb. The install process
recognizes the existing partitions but does not recognize which one should
be made the boot partition or which one should be made the user data
partition. The questions asked provide no obvious way of giving the
information to the program. The default wants to completely reformat hdb
eliminating the fat32 extent. That is not desireable! the existing
partitions have about 128 mb in what should be the boot partition, a swap
partition, a large user partition (ext3), and the small fat32 partition.
The swap partition is recognized.
Note: This note was sent with same header but without header copied inside.
Since you want that you should be more specific!

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
