The menu is in /boot/grub/grub.cfg (GRUB 2) or /boot/grub/menu.lst (GRUB
Legacy).
You don't need to know what Windows you have installed, since it's done
by chainloading. This is from my menu.lst:
#title Windows
#rootnoverify (hd0,0)
#makeactive
#chainloader +1
Of cause, you need to uncomment it, IOW remove the "#"s.
If you use GRUB 2, more likely for a default Debian install ;), than
perhaps running "update-grub" with root privileges might add Windows
automatically to grub.cfg. If not, I would recommend to switch to GRUB
Legacy, since for a beginner it's easier to handle. You directly will
edit menu.lst and it's including out-commented examples, such as the
Windows chainload.
