Did you delete the windows partitions or the above information is still
valid?
Your partitioning scheme looks a bit weird (there are no primary
partitions but just one extended holding the logical ones and the boot
flag is under "hda2").
What is the current status of your setup? Can you boot into Debian,
Windows or any OS at all? Can you access the data from a LiveCD? Can you
mount the partitions from Debian? What error message are you getting (if
any)?
