Although I do not have UEFI firmware, and you may not be installing debian in a dual-boot setup (like I did), the links below describe installing Ubuntu and Windows in a dual-boot configuration on motherboards that utilize UEFI firmware. He mentions that other distros can be used in place of Ubuntu as I kindly asked about my debian install. He also has debian related articles. There is some good information on UEFI that may be helpful to your installation. You can ask a question to the author (name: finid) at the bottom of the page in the links listed below. Dual-Boot using UEFI firmware and One Hard Drive: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/10/11/dual-boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-12-04-on-a-pc-with-uefi-hardware/ Dual Boot Using UEFI firmware and Two Hard Drives: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/10/10/dual-boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-12-04-on-a-pc-with-uefi-board-ssd-and-hdd/ Home page: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/ Additional links in regards to debian http://www.linuxbsdos.com/category/debian/ I hope this helps.
