There is a wealth of information online, for example:
https://www.debian.org/releases/bookwor ... 05.en.html
https://debian-handbook.info/browse/sta ... steps.html
The answer obviously depends on what partition you want to use. Is it a partition from another operating system, or from a previous linux install?

Please give some more information about your existing system and what you want to achieve, for example dual boot, or replace an existing OS. You could post output of a partition tool for an existing OS, or of a suitable command in Linux.If you already have an operating system on your system (Windows 9x, Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7, OS/2, MacOS, Solaris, FreeBSD, …) which uses the whole disk and you want to stick Debian on the same disk, you will need to repartition it. Debian requires its own hard disk partitions. It cannot be installed on Windows or Mac OS X partitions. It may be able to share some partitions with other Unix systems, but that's not covered here. At the very least you will need a dedicated partition for the Debian root filesystem.

Partitioning tools always provide a way to show existing partitions without making changes.
