Usually Debian will detect your Windows partition and add an entry
for you automatically.

If it doesn't, here's mine (added at the end of /boot/grub/menu.lst):

# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS
# on /dev/hdd2
title           Microsoft Windows XP Professional
root            (hd2,1)
savedefault
chainloader     +1

Make sure you change (hd2,1) for your Windows partition. Numbers are
zero-based, so (hd0,0) is the same as your first hard disk, first  
partition.
