Package: installation-reports

Boot method: DVD

Image version: 7.1.0

Date: 11 or 12 September 2013

Machine: DIY foxconn m61pmp-k main board, e-geforce 7100 gs video card

Processor: amd processor athlon II x2

Memory: 2(quantity) one gig DDR3 ram

Partitions: c 52.4g xp sp3, d 83.9g user file storage, unformatted 113.7g

Initial boot:  E

Comments/Problems: It did not complete install and then I could no longer boot into my xp partition.


A few days ago, I downloaded wheezy, verified the cksum, then burnt 3 DVDs.

my computer had dual boot xp sp3 and mint. I decided to try Debian and I wanted to over write the mint install. Debian choose my xp partition to install itself, so I stopped it before it did such. I backed up the install and I tried to set up another partition manually. That did not work.

I rebooted and could not get into xp. So, I ran mint off the DVD and did more internet research on installing Debian. I tried from scratch to install Debian many more times, each failed.

I took many screen shots at each issue while trying to install Debian.

I still could not boot into xp.

I gave up on the Debain install. I tried to fix the xp install by running the xp disk fixmbr. That did not work. I then ran the fixboot. Neither worked.

I wiped my entire HDD and repartitioned and reinstalled xp sp3.

Im ready to try again to install Debian on the unformatted partition.

I dont want to have the above problem again. So, after I get Debian installed on this dual boot computer, if i decide that I dont want Debian, how do I remove it? How can I then try another linux flavor w/o loosing my xp?

c partition 52.4g was xp sp3
d partition 83.9g is my personal data files.
unformatted 113.7g was partitioned by mint into 68g and 2g swap.
Now its set up as above, except
c is 63g xp sp3
d is 117g my data files
unformatted is 70g

I'm closing the reports below.

That's installation-reports for Debian 7 with
- undefined errors
- problems which are likely to have been fixed in the meantime
- successful installation

Because of the age, there is no chance to analyse them further and therefore
they are no longer relevant or of any use for current releases:
