Hi guys, I need help installing debian on a dual boot with windows 7. I partitioned my hdd in Windows, but when I got to the Debian installer on the Live Usb, I can't get past the Partioning section. How do I choose which drive I want to install Debian after I format it, flag it as bootable, and all that fun stuff? Thanks in advance.
P.S. If it helps, I am installing the newest stable release
Look for the application called GParted, reduce the windows partition, make 3 new partitions in the thus created free space: one / (root, not too large, this is where the system comes and the apps), one /home (this is where the user data comes, usually the largest), and one /swap (usually the same size as the RAM to allow full swapping of the RAM for fast wake-up times, swap is hardly used by the system when it runs, linus has very efficient RAM usage), format all of these as ext4 filesystem, flag the root partition as bootable, indicate those partitions for the install, write GRUB2 (it will detect the windows install and incorporate it in the GRUB list), reboot, done.
