   Suppose ur windows in hda & debian in hdb, BIOS setup in hda. Debian 
has installed perfactly, then u wanna use grub to select which system u 
want when bootup.
   Frist, set BIOS boot hdb other then hda.
   Frist, boot into debian, login as root(or use sudo).
   grub
   root (hd1,X)
   # X is to decide which partition in hdb will do as *root*, normally 
this partition is mounted as / . e.g. (hd1,0) 4 hdb1, (hd1,1) 4 hdb2 etc.
   setup hd1
   reboot
   Then when ur boot up, grub will be the system loader. But u can't 
boot up windows. So u need 2 edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. Adding this.

   Wish u lucky.
