Leave it either off or on, but then *never* change it again. Whilst you are in the BIOS turn off PNP OS. :)
If you still run into problems type (as root) in a console (in the debian install screen press Ctrl-Alt-F2) fdisk /dev/hda then delete *everything*, return to the debian install menu (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and continue as normal. Hopefully that will work :) Alex
