Please back up, archive, and/or image any data or operating systems that 
you desire to keep.


Please provide the following information:

* What is the file name of the Debian installer you downloaded?  What 
media did you burn it to?  How did you burn it?  How did you verify that 
the media matches the download?

* What is the make and model number of the computer?  Of the processor? 
Of the memory modules?  Of the disk drive(s)?  Of the USB Wi-Fi adapter? 
  Of any other hardware that is installed into the computer?

* Do you desire to keep any of the data on the disk drive(s), notably 
the Windows 7 installation?
