I encountered the same problem too. Here is the link on how to do it:
But first you have to get access into your filesystem system. To do that,
I created a grub bootable cd:
The CD allowed me to boot to my debian interactively (http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#GNU_002fLinux).
So once i boot into my debian i used grub-install to get my GRUB bootloader installed into the MBR.
The bootable CD will also allow you to boot many other OSes interactively besides win and debian if you have then. It will come in handy.
You can read about GRUB and bootloaders: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html
Its really helpful.

At the risk of sounding too terse, try "man grub-install". I recently
went through this as well. Boot off a rescue CD of your choice, mount
the root filesystem and chroot to that mount. From there, you can
restore the MBR to the proper device.
