Add the following lines to the file /boot/grub/menu.lst

# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS
# on /dev/hda1
title           Windows NT/2000/XP
root            (hd0,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader     +1

If your windows is on the C partition on the first drive, this will 
work. If not change the line "root". hd0 -> first drive. ,0 -> first 
partition
