yes sorry the error message came up before I switched to NTldr, I also tried switching the boot priority in my bios and that brought up a scrolling screen of GRUB GRUB GRUB endlessly
I'm assuming thats wrong
Maybe not?
but yes after restoring the MBR with the recovery console I reinstalled Debian with Grub on the Linux partition

in that case, we have to check if debain installed properly or not. its not booting up and there is no way to know where is the problem, in Boot Loader or in installation itself.
download SmartBootManager and boot up from it. check if it recognizes Debian Installation and boot it up.

So just for the hell of it I recovered the MBR again and redid my bootpart adding of debian to the boot.ini
I then reinstalled debian off thhe DVDs to the D drive with Grub on the boot partition of the D drive, I'm curious if the assignment of the boot flag through the Debian installer could be causing this mixup?
