That isn't usually such a problem, so people don't document it much. :)
Bill, you clearly are not ready for this. I don't know how you
stumbled onto installing Debian on your system, but if you think that
an operating system is just a program, you *definately* aren't ready
for Debian.
Slap that recovery cd back in. If that doesn't work, get your wallet
out, send the laptop back, or take it to the local computer nerd and
pay him to put windows back on.
Debian is great, but running it on a laptop is probably the most
complicated possible way you could start, <snip>
Even though this is a bit harsh, there is some merit in the sentences.
There are other distros that are much easier to install. I installed
Libranet (Debian with a few extras), it has a very easy install and you
can still take advantage of the Debian features. I started with Redhat
7.2.. then RH8... and on to others. Redhat, Mandrake, SuSe linux are
much easier to install. As I mentioned earlier there are also LiveCDs
that you can use and see what you think. You can read about them
later... Go here for a long list of live CDs.

Don't worry.... you'll get there.
