I just browsed back thru the thread and saw no mention of using a Live 
edition. These are available at:
<https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/>
and
<https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/i386/iso-hybrid/>

That will help distinguish between specifically "installation issues" 
and "general suitability issues". What I'm thinking of is there some 
non-free software requirement that is causing atypical installation 
symptoms.
