Problems with installation



Hello,

I have a Toshiba Satellite M70-165 that I bought some days ago. This machine came with WinXP and some Toshiba software. Then, I decided to download the lastest ISO stable Debian for i386, and burned it. My pretension was to divide my hard drive of 80Gb taking 15Gb for Win and the other for Linux. So I rebooted and during the installation process of debian an error said:

(I'm spanish so I'm doing my best for trying to translate it to english, so sorry for my english)

"[!!]Partitioning of disks
There are no partitionable means.

Couldn't find means that can be partitionable. Please, make sure that a hard drive disk has been connected."

Supposedly during the installation process I could partitionate manually the disk, but I could see that I couldn't do it. Then I searched more information about that topic and I then realized that I must use a software on win for make partitions. Then I used Partition Magic and made a partition for Linux with EXT2 file system (around 62gb) and little partition additional for that swap (1gb). Rebooted again, but my the surprise was big when the same error than before appeared.

I've searched more about that, but I can't find what to do. I need debian on my new computer seriously.

Thank you in advance and sorry for my english level.
