So now i had installed grub2 and it does not automatically detects a distro i had installed (before installing debian) on /dev/sda3

I saw this message on /boot/grub/grub.cfg

# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE

# It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig using templates

# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub

and do i proceed from here?

[snipped]

I thought grub1 does not boot from ext4. Anyway, grub2 does, so installing grub2 should solve your issues.

PS. Make sure you have a rescue cd when installing new bootloaders. An error is all too easily made (either by you, the installer or whatever else) and usually results in an unbootable system.
