Hi Lori, you already had a bootable system and did not need the boot
flag. What happens when you boot without the flash drive, just do a
normal boot starting with the system off.? What you should see is a
grub menu offering you the option to boot into Debian or Windows and
it should timeout and boot into Debian.
You said that Windows will still boot. You're lucky. After one Linux
install (not Debian, and not really recent) I found my Windows system
deleted! And when you've upgraded to a present
Windows system and don't have install disks and serial numbers, that's
a real problem. Be VERY careful when you try to install Linux after
Windows! It can be done, and I've done it since
the problem, but BE CAREFUL! Not many options with a laptop, but on a
desktop, I strongly recommend two hd or ssd drives, on e for each
system. And disconnect the Windows drive
when you install Linux. Sort out the Grub later--legacy grub is much
easier to deal with.
