If you have another Linux box available, log on it, download the latest GRUB images and docs and make a GRUB boot floppy. Put a blank floppy on your drive and on the same dir as the images, do:

     # dd if=stage1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1
     # dd if=stage2 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1

Use the floppy to boot your system and correct the problem. Guessing your Win2000 is on (hd0,0) and your Debian is on (hd0,1), do:

To boot win2k:
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
makeactive
boot

To boot debian:
kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2


Once you boot up again, you can check what's wrong with grub and maybe do a grub-install again.
