I guess you won't be willing to do this unless you: 1) have your home partition separated 2) have backups from all your important data now boot from your debian cd, press alt+F2 (to get a different console) and play there with fdisk and mkfs (be sure to do this before beeing asked in which partition to install debian) hope it helps

When I boot the debian installation disk, my system gives my this message: loading linux ... Is this the boot floppy or your harddisk? If it is the floppy you might want to try another one. If you have your BIOS's boot sequence set to A:, C:, SCSI: or something, the boot sector is loaded from your floppy. You should not have to worry about formatting your harddisk in this stage, it is not the problem. When the installation program has been started you can format your drive.

Just reuse the existing partitions and the debian installer will reformat these automatically as filesystems are created with mkfs.ext2. In the case of a /home filesystem, you don't have to zap it, you can simply mount the old filesystem during installation. Cheers, Joost
