To install grub I would do the following:
Make sure your menu.lst file contains entries for linux and windows.
In my case this is:
title Debian bf2.4
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-bf2.4 root=/dev/hda1 hdc=ide-scsi
title Debian 2.6.0
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0 root=/dev/hda1
title Low-level Format
root (hd0,3)
chainloader +1
but in your case it would be something like:
title Debian
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/name-of-kernel root=/dev/hdb1
title Windows
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
Then to install grub you would boot into Debian and run grub.
Then enter the following commands:
root (hd1,0) This indicates that grub files are on /dev/hdb1
setup (hd0) This indicates that grub should install on /dev/hda
Grub needs to know where its files are stored. When your computer
boots the part of grub in the MBR of /dev/hda is loaded and then
it needs to load the rest of grub. If it doesn't know where that is
it will just sit there. The files grub needs are in the /boot/grub/
directory of your Debian partition.
Hope that helps,
Bijan
