At the end of /boot/grub/menu.lst:

# Diviver to separate the menu items below form the Debian ones
title		Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
root		(hd0,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader	+1

to where the boot partition is (for example, on my other system it is
hda1,0 but I have them remapped).
