Hmmm.
I don't think a standard installation of Debian (or whatever distro, actually) can mess up your BIOS like that.

The first installation of Debian (GNOME) was with multi-boot option that allows booting from hard disk and DVD drive.
I believe that what you're trying to say here is that when you first boot with a Debian DVD, it allows you to "try" the operating system directly from the DVD before actually installing it in your hard drive.
Here's what I would do. When your computers starts, enter your BIOS and tell it to boot from the DVD drive or a USB stick, whatever media you have an operating system ready to boot. Then use the accompanying tools to reformat your hard drive, and install the operating system itself if you want to do it.
If you're a Windows user, I'd suggest you to take a look at the
Linux USB Live Creator tool, which allows you to format an USB drive, install an image of some Linux distribution and make it bootable so you can use it as a LiveUSB to troubleshoot a computer or to install the operating system in your hard drive. Hope it helps.
