Assuming the partitions are all on the same drive, in Linux they will be identified as: C: -> /dev/hda1 D: -> /dev/hda2 E: -> /dev/hda3 If you have mirrored the Debian distribution on D:, you won't even need to use floppies for installation. In MS-DOS (not a window), go to D:/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-i386/current and run install.bat which will start the installation for you. Specify /dev/hda3 when asked where to install. If you are installing hamm, replace "stable" with "frozen".
