Hi Guys, I need your help. 1. I set out to install Debian from Windows 7 2. I downloaded the win 32 Debian Installer and went through the procedures 3.

I could not restart either my window 7 nor continue the installing 6. My computer is a emachine 732 running initially on windows 7 7. Help me please
This could be that the Windows 7 partition was corrupted. I always advise people to do the partitioning outside of the installation when doing a dual-boot. The reason is that Windows file systems are touchy and probably need to be checked after being resized.
The fact that you seem to have a RAID 5 array, which I'm guessing is using the SATA RAID drivers for Windows, makes things more complicated.
However, we need more information on what exactly your setup is, where the RAID 5 comes in, and what happens when you try to boot.
