Hi, I am new to debian and I can not seem to get the OS installed properly.

What I have done so far is to

Make a free space partition of 100GB on drive D and then

1. download the first DVD of 10.1.0
2. used rufus to put it on a thumb drive
3. Booted from the thumb drive and selected "graphical Install"
4. followed the prompts
5. Program said OS was installed and to reboot the system

During the install, did it repetition your drive, perhaps taking "D" and reformatting it?

Your reference to "D" makes me think you have a partition that Windows calls "D:", using an NTFS file system. Debian generally wants an EXT4 file system, not an NTFS partition. Is drive "D:" missing from Windows after the install?
