Bug#774104: failed installation of Debian 7.7.0

[gml@garymlewis.com]

Yes, please close the ticket. I completely removed Debian from the 
computer. Sorry, I've been stuck on various problems with the ThinkPad 
for several weeks now, and need to move forward, even if the solutions 
are not ideal. In hindsight I think I should have purchased a ThinkPad 
with Linux already installed, instead of Win 8.1 and then trying to make 
the switch. Parts of the BIOS still have imprints from Microsoft a month 
after I removed Win. thanks for your help!  ... Gary
