You're not offerring too many details to work with.
Have you tried another disk? What are you expecting (i.e., what
wm/de)? Is your video card supported? Has it worked before with
debian? Can you get back to the console and check you xorg log for
error messages? Did you follow the installation instructions found on
the debian website? Have you looked at any documentation? Basically,
what have you done?
