If you installed LILO into the beginning of your root partition (default for
debian), you need to move the active/bootable flag back to your
root-partition. Check Diskmanager wether it can do this - or use a plain
DOS-fdisk. Of course you can uuse linux' fdisk, too.
If LILO used to reside in the MBR, you need to boot from a rescue disc and
reinstall LILO.
You may want to check some of those linux+winnt-HOWTOs for more details.
