Dear Sir/Madam:
I have an issue installing Debian 8 64 bit on a 32bit grub boot-loader

Thanks.
I'm looking forward to hear from you, Parsa Samet.

Description: GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (PC/BIOS version)
GRUB is a portable, powerful bootloader. This version of GRUB is based
on a cleaner design than its predecessors, and provides the following
new features: * Scripting in grub.cfg using BASH-like syntax. *
Support for modern partition maps such as GPT. * Modular generation of
grub.cfg via update-grub. Packages providing GRUB add-ons can plug in
their own script rules and trigger updates by invoking update-grub2. *
VESA-based graphical mode with background image support and complete
24-bit color set. * Support for extended charsets. Users can write
UTF-8 text to their menu entries. This package contains a version of
GRUB that has been built for use with traditional PC/BIOS
architecture. Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/|
I'm not sure what you are trying to do. Are you trying to upgrade from
Debian 7 to Debian 8 while changing architectures from 32 to 64 bit? If
so, you may prefer to simply install Debian 8/64 bit. Or you could try
to install Debian 8 in a dual-boot with Debian 7.
