Gary,

Bootup Debian, login as root, and enter fdisk <device that Debian is
installed on>.  If it is on your first drive it should be fdisk
/dev/hda1.  Don't change any partition info.  You should find a switch
to make a partition bootable.  Just do that and quite.  If you get stuck
let me know and I'll boot one of my Linux distros and check it out --
been a while since I've done that.

Sure hope that this does the trick for you.  Keep me posted.

Frank
