</div>There are two types of places you can install GRUB to - the MBR (only<br>
one per disk, right at the start), or to a particular partition. Do<br>
you recall which you chose?<br>
<br>
It sounds like you need to (re)install GRUB to the master boot record<br>
(MBR) to overwrite the one that Windows put in place. Then GRUB will<br>
hand control over to either Windows or Linux depending on your choice<br>
at boot-time.<br>
<br>
