    Why are you installing Debian "woody" then? It's old, not especially the
    best for newbies; try using
    http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sid_d-i/i386/pre-rc2/sarge-i386-netinst.iso
    the pre-rc2 of debian-installer, it's smarter than the old installer and
    installed debian sarge, not debian woody; debian sarge is the next
    stable version of debian.

    If that still doesn't solve the problem, maybe try installing knoppix,
    (knoppix is a hacked version of debian, that boots your computer
    directly into a running desktop; there, you can choose knoppix-install
    -- somewhere in the menus it has I guess) that should take care of all
    the problems of setting up the installation;

    HTH,

    Joris
