When installing did you choose to boot debian from the hard disk (or
install boot manager or whatever the question is that means the same thing
... ) ? If so, then you need some help with lilo. Install the man pages
package and man lilo will help.
Otherwise install lilo and man pages and continue.
There is also a partition manager for operation under a windows system that
is completely free and installs a quite good boot manager. IIRC this is
the Ranish Partition Manager or something like that.
