Paritioning Issue



Hello.  This is really basic in regard to all the other mail I've seen so far here - but, here goes...

New to Debian.  Trying to install Sarge from DVD on my Thinkpad (Z60t).  At the partitioning prompt - only two options: completely overwrite the HD (guided?) or manual configuration.  According to Martin Krafft's The Debian System,  
I should be seeing a "write to free space" option, but I don't.  I tried it again with the most recent kernel - and, then received 
a warning indicating it couldn't even detect partitionable media.  I'm not experienced enough to attempt a manual configuration. Any constructive advice would be appreciated.  Thanks...
