How do I install Debian Linux on my current hard drive while having Windows also installed? I want to do a net install for Debian Linux 5.0. However, I don't want to damage, corrupt, etc. my current Windows Vista installation. I'm assuming I'm going to have them on 2 different partitions, though I have no idea on how to install.

Hi,
please have a look at the debain wiki, search for dual-boot. Yes you need at least two partitions.

Re: How do I install Debian Linux
seeing as how this is 5 days later, i'm sure you've already made a decision on this but its best to get a distro like parted magic and use gparted to resize drive partitions. you could use parted (a command line partition editor) in the debian installer but i wouldn't recommend that for someone new to linux - it isn't very user friendly
