It shouldn't matter that Fedora and Windows are already installed, so
long as your Debian installation didn't overwrite either.  You'll just
have to add the Fedora entry to your

/boot/grub/menu.lst

file. 

You'll probably have to do this manually, with a text editor, but give the

update-grub

script a chance, then check your menu.lst file to see if update-grub
changed anything.

If update-grub worked, great.  If not, have no fear.  To find out the
partitions on your hard drives, execute (as root)

fdisk -l

This will tell you the partition structure of your disk(s).  From here,
you simply add the appropriate lines to grub:

title         Fedora Core 4
/* x is the hard drive of Fedora's /boot, y is the partition number of
/boot (starting from zero).  For example, if Fedora's /boot directory is
located on hda1, then the corresponding line is root (hd0,0).  If
Fedora's boot is on /dev/hdc3, then you need root (hd2,2). */
root         (hdx,y)  
kernel     <path to kernel> root=<device of kernel> ro
initrd      <path to initrd file (usually /boot/initrd.img-foo)
savedefault
boot

Hope this helps, and let us know what problems you run into along the way.
