But Windows totally depends on Debian drive for booting. If you remove
the Debian drive, Windows won't boot any more.
What installer log
file on the debian system can I post to the list so someone can see
exactly what I may have done to mess this system up so only debian would
boot at first?
The partitioning log is in /var/log/installer/partman. It shows the
existing partitioning scheme. But it does do not show your actions, only
their consequences. It can be quite big, so better compress it or the
list may delete it.
IMO the original sin was to have Windows ESP on a different drive than
Windows main system partition (but I don't know how it happened, maybe
the ESP was created before Windows was installed and Windows just used
it). Then you selected "guided partitioning using an entire drive" which
deleted the ESP. In order to preserve the existing ESP, you should have
selected "guided partitioning using the biggest free space" or "manual
partitioning".
