Hello


I have tried to I install the Debian operating system on a hard disk partitioned using windows vista hard disk partition manager and I have specified a primary partition of a capacity
of 100 GB but the problem was that the Debian installation process doesn't detect the hard partitions and need to create a new partition table. Note: that the partitions are working very well under windows and they are of NTFS format.

*

Thanks


Sincerely yours

You most probably don't need that much space for Debian, but of course
it doesn't hurt.

Are you absolutely sure about that? Under your circumstances, it should
detect that there is no free (=unpartitioned) space on the disk and
offer top resize one of the partitions in order to make space for
Debian.

Debian cannot be installed on NTFS. Maybe you have luck deleting the
unused 100GB partition from Windows and then starting the Debian
installer again.

Normally you need a Linux partition for Installing Debian.
If you do not want to change your partition setup,you can
try to run debian using virtualization with windows platform.
