Questions for you:
1. Please describe you model and make of Motherboard, hard drive
controllers, video cards and if you are using 1 or more hard
drives.
2. One the off chance, did you let the installer install grub on
the Master Boot Record or MBR? Or did you install it to the
"root" partition of the Debian Install?
3. Are you using the released Debian "Etch" v4.0 stable (April 8th,
2007 release)? Or are you using older Debian Etch v4.0 testing?
Or are you using the newer Debian v4.x Lenny "testing"
installer?
And the netinstall requires you to grab the "rest of the packages" from
one of the Internet repositories. It will give you a basic "bootable"
system for you to finish the install from.
One last thing: Remember that Any version of Windows assumes it is the
ONLY Operating System on the machine. It will break upon anything of the
fantasy not being true... if it sees it.
