Hello!

I've just installed yesterday a Vista instead of my old XP to my
computer.Naturally the Vista setup deleted the GRUB's MBR entry.How can
I solve now to dual boot my debian and vista?Can I recover grub by some
way?Or how could I configure the Vista bootloader to boot Debian?

Boot the debian installer in rescue mode, select your root partition,
and then in the shell run 'grub-install /dev/sda' (replace sda with your
actual disk like hda if necesary).

Then exit, and select to reboot.
