Comments/Problems:
I tried to install Wheezy on an amd64 system with Windows 7
already installed at the beginning of the hard disk.
Installation was completed, without any errors. But after
restart grub froze half way (before listing the operating
systems), and none of the operating systems (win7 and Debian
Wheezy) were usable.
Using a "trial and error" approach, I found a work-around to
the problem:
* Partition the disk and create the partitions used by
Debian at the beginning of the disk. (Probably /boot is
enough)
* Install Windows7 (not at the beginning of the disk)
* Install Debian.
