[ILUG] Grub, Debian net-install and Win7

[ILUG] Grub, Debian net-install and Win7

I've just done a Debian net-install on a machine with Windows 7. The
installer explicitly told me[1] it would be safe to write Grub to the MBR,
so I did. However, on re-boot it only offers me Linux. 

This is a fresh desktop from Dell -- is there an easy way to recover a
win 7 boot? And how do I do that without losing the Debian boot?

[1] In recollection, I now can't be sure that told me that it had found
Vista on the machine.
