Once your Debian installation is finished, put this in
/etc/default/grub: GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true

Then run
   update-grub
to remove the unwanted entries from your grub menu.

The Grub info documentation describes it as follows:
'GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER'
      Normally, 'grub-mkconfig' will try to use the external
'os-prober' program, if installed, to discover other operating systems
installed on the same system and generate appropriate menu entries for
them.  Set this option to 'true' to disable this.

Disconnecting disks while installing Debian can help avoid mistakes.
However, it does not permanently suppress the boot menu entries
referring to other OS installations.

Thanks Mirko, that will be handy.


#3 problem, have you looked to see if you can remove drives in your BIOS, if you can you won't need to crack your case.
