    Thanks very much for your attention.


Personally I recommend that you just download a (standard) CD-1 image from the Debian site as you say you are not experienced with Linux.

It will make installation easier for you, & then once that is up & running, start learning about Linux & Debian.

You will get plenty of encouragement from mailing lists & forums to help you learn your new system, but until you have a working system of your own, it will be difficult to explain things.

Another point : Do you want to replace your Win XP, or do you want to have both (dual booting) on your computer.

Maybe the OP has a problem burning the software to disk. A good free Windows program to do that is burncdcc.exe. It only burns ISOs, so you can't screw it up. Lots of sources, just Google for it.
