You (re)installed windows after, but now you can't boot into Debian ?

You need to reinstall the ["MasterBootRecord"], for of your previous bootloader :

Recover Grub bootloader

Reinstall lilo bootloader

  • The procedure is probably very similar to Grub, but re-running lilo.

alternatively, you can also get a ["LiveCD"] linux distro, open a terminal and type:

 mount  -o  suid,dev,rw   /mnt/hdXX       #(XX =   linux partition)
 chroot  /mnt/hdXX
 lilo 

Because you have to reinstall lilo

Reinstall Windows XP Boot Record

If you actually want to to the other way around (i.e. remove Debian boot loader)... Make sure you know how to boot into Debian Later !
