Hmmm... I guess I installed Windows in "legacy mode" and I booted the Debian installation CD with UEFI and therefore it wanted to install Debian in UEFI mode

@broniebrown Wait, you installed Windows 7 in "legacy mode" ? Where did you toggle this mode ?

@critialcloudkicker My BIOS has only two options: UEFI/Legacy or UEFI. It was set to UEFI/Legacy.

@broniebrown I do not think that matters at all ( rather you need to diskpart with command prompt to even do advanced stuff like this during the windows 7 install, you can get in the command prompt with shift+f10 at any time during the install "shield/window" of the installer ( although preferably when in the select partition section ). At any rate, it works, probably no reason to go to GPT as of now ( unless if you want a seperate /home/ and /swap/ for you linux installs... as I am not quite sure if those directories/path's can be on the extended partition ... my best guess, why should they be primary ? )

@critialcloudkicker It doesn't matter now. I have Debian installed successfully.

@broniebrown No more dual boot ?

@critialcloudkicker Of course a dual boot. Apparently the DVD drive was started in UEFI mode and thus the installation process thought I wanted to install it in a UEFI environment. I'm not sure but setting the DVD drive to legacy in the BIOS settings solved my problem.
