The installation process is composed by two stages. The first stage starts just after you boot from the CD-ROM ISO image. After a few questions (language, nationality, keyboard), you will be asked to partition your disk. Please backup your data before proceeding and be extremely careful before writing changes to the disk. After you have set up the target partition a minimal Debian system will be installed on it. Then the installer will auto-probe for other operating systems present on your hard disk(s) and ask whether you want to install the Grub boot-loader on the master boot record. If all your operating systems are listed among the detected ones, just answer "yes". Your computer will be restarted to start the second installation stage. Please make sure that your CD-ROM is ejected during the re-boot, then when the greeting message appears insert it again. After the greeting you will be asked to set your timezone, to enter the root password and to make a new user account for yourself. Then a task list will appear, letting you select which components yow want to be installed. Pressing tab will switch between the three buttons at the bottom ("Finish", "Task Info", "Help"). If you want all the tasks to be installed just press "A" and then "Finish". Finally the installer will try to auto-configure you video card and start the X graphic system.
