did the install, give you the option of making a linux boot disk? if so, and if you made one, pop it in and it should boot you into linux. then use these commands from a shell terminal:
1. su
<enter root password>
2. grub-install /dev/hda
make sure you use hda and not hda1 or hda2 or etc...
#2 will install grub onto your MBR.
before rebooting, make sure your grub.conf file exists and looks something like this (simple windows/redhat 7.3 dual boot):
Code:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,10)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda11
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,10)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
password --md5 $XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/

initrd /boot/initrd-2.X.XX-XX.img

the full file path to grub.conf is /boot/grub/grub.conf and you can use any gui text editor with that. you need to be logged in or su'ed into root. aw hell here's the commands for opening grub.conf
1. su
<enter root password>
2. kwrite /boot/grub/grub.conf
in grub.conf, don't worry if you see that root= is using a different hdaXX or something. that's the partition where my linux install is residing. yours may obviously be on a different partition.
