HI, Mizuki,
I also have experienced this problem, but in a different environment.
The most recent version of netinst that I have used successfully is:
debian-jessie-DI-b1-i386-netinst.iso
CDs since then have allowed me to go through the motions of setting up
partitions, but fail repeatedly to actually write the new stuff onto
the physical HD, for me. My research of this problem has not been
exhaustive, and I couldn't believe I hadn't done something wrong, and
I intended to go back and check on the more recent CD after I fixed
the problem that forced me to try installing from scratch. Until
reading your email, I was pretty sure I would discover some mistake
that I had been making with the newer CDs. I haven't completed rebuild
of my system, yet, So all I can say is 'I feel your pain.'
Kind regards,
