I did that actually.

No problems. Also, when I burned the ISO image on windows 7, I asked  
for it to also verify the CD afterwords, and it did, not problem there.

Windows is installed on /dev/hda
I wanted to install linux on /dev/hdb, but never got the chaance to  
get that far, as installation hangs at start.

I download debian ISO image, burn it, booted, and debian installed OK  
on the same PC.
