This is the third or fourth time you have asked this question.  You _can_ use 
the i386 to install.

But those sectors sound bad.

How did you try to boot? What (if any) was the text output during the
boot process?

Yes.

I don't see why not, but it's kind of hard to say without seeing your
laptop. Make backups first and don't remove your old operating system
if you plan to try putting it on.

Regarding installation faqs

2015-06-16 Thread Himanshu Shekhar 
Hello,
Recently, I received a laptop from.one of my friends for repair.
Actually,.it doesn't boot properly. I have a copy of DVD 1 of Jessie i386.

The laptop has actually an AMD Athlon processor. The fact about getting
another copy is that it requires resources and time to download. Thus, can
I use the i386 one to install.

Also, is it fit for my laptop#2 reporting 337 bad sectors (toshiba-500 gb)
to run debian.

Thanks
