hi

I have install a MBR table partition with 3 partition windows partage et linux
And i have install windows7 first no problem but i want to install debian now

and the dvd of debian is no detected

can you help me?

The MBR is the Master Boot Record - it comes with the disk drive and is not a seperate partition that you have to install.Since you have installed 7 from the same drive, I guess that the DVD drive is set as the first boot device and you rebooted with the DVD in the drive - is that correct?

How do you know the DVD is not detected?

In that case, perhaps the DVD has not been burned properly. Do it again on a slow speed.

]i know
sorry i don't speak correctly english

i force the boot dvd with a long time in the key C.
And next it should be an installation and i have just a dash flasher.

i don't know how the begin the begin boot mac works?

i go test the dvd in other system

OK - if your DVD was not recognised, your computer would have booted instead to Windows... same as if there was no DVD in there at all.

I don't know what you mean by this.
Normally you would enter the BIOS setup on your computer and change the boot order there so that the DVD drive is first. That way you do not need to mess about forcing anything with a key press of any kind. It is just automatic.

Try this and see.

However - it looks like the DVD is being recognised but it does not know what to do.
Did you make sure you have obtained the PPC version of Debian? Can you tell me which ISO you burned?

in mac there are not bios

but i have test i64 and powerpc to boot

not something different

my configuration is a imac with intel 2 core duo 64 bit

thank's

Now I am understanding you better. You are doing the right thing, and the DVD is recognised as mac-bootable, and the mac is trying to boot off it (why you get a black screen with a white "-" dash flashing on it.)

You want the i386 or the x64 images should be fine - make sure they are burned at a slow speed - no more than 8x.

thank's it's works

you have to use amd 64 for apple all système in bits

and i use too ISO Recorder (Freeware) to record simply

"This program can record .iso images on Windows 2003, XP and Vista."

That's great

- curious, 64 bit machines usually work with 32 bit OSs.

- note, when burning an iso, it is important to use a program which allows you to change the write speed to something slow.

I usually suggest a free software program like InfraRecorder.

ISO Recorder license depends on which edition you have. At least one version seems to be open source, at least in principle.

v1. allows redistribution of unmodified binaries only.
v2. seems to allow unrestricted redistribution of source code - no clear way to get the source, perhaps you have to contact the owner?
v3. has no license statement - implying "all right reserved" - maybe the licence is in the zip?

createCD. has a non-commercial (personal use) license.

thank's but i know gpl

Sorry, didn't mean to imply you didn't. Do I understand by your statement, then, that the version of ISO Recorder you installed is licensed under GNU GPL?

That would be useful information.
