    Hi and Welcome !

    Which version of Debian are you using? Boot up from LiveCD of any Linux distro and post the output of fdisk -l command. If you are using GRUB Legacy boot loader then we need to check contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst file also.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    I would do a md5sum check of downloaded Iso before I burn it. Just common practise,

    Make sure to burn .iso image as Image only. Sometimes users burn it as Data disk. It should be burned as an image.
