Here I'm attaching my last part of menu.lst, at the end of the file:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST

title           Windows (Windows XP Home)
rootnoverify    (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
makeactive
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please note that the WIndows part is AFTER the END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC
KERNELS LIST comment. In this example, the Windows part is in
/dev/hda2, which is the same than (hd0,1) in GRUB terms. Change this
according to your Windows partition.

Notice that the DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC part is generated every time a new
kernel is added and anything there is deleted and substituted by your
LInux kernel installations. If a Windows Grub specification is written
between the beginning and end of this Debian thing, it will disappear.

I hope this helps.
