Have you read the manual for whatever architecture you want to install?
Find it here for the Stable release
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual.

People on this list are very helpful if you show you've done research, tried
xyz but still can't get to work, etc. From your post, it sounds like you
want some level of hand-holding which isn't likely to get a lot of helpful
responses until you've shown you've put in effort. If you have tried
different things and are having trouble, that is important to share. This
list is not paid to help, in case you didn't know that.

Have you already subscribed to the list?
You saw the answer to your second mail because somebody CC-ed
you. Check the archives. I have seen your three posts.

That's OK.

> I'm weak on terminal.

That's NOT OK. Most of the solutions/advices you'd be getting here require
some coding (not very much, to start with) skills.
You'll need to know (at a minimum) how to move inside the directory tree, copy
and/or move files, and several other *very basic* things.
My advice, start getting familiar with documentation sources on your own system.
Investigate man pages, info, /usr/share/doc/, etc...

Everybody here will be helpful _as long as_ you demonstrate effort on
your side. Otherwise, you most probably will be ignored.
First off, you must learn how to make intelligent questions, that
implies that at least you describe accurately: what are you trying to do, what
happens, etc...

Regards.

You should be subscribed to mailing list in order to receive responses to
your posts.

If you don't know how to subscribe, read manual[1].
