I installed Windows on my hd today, to a separate partition. But the Windows bootloader is taking precedence over grub. Does anybody know what to do? I can't boot back into Linux now...
If there's already a thread for this, please link me.

Thanks...um...is there a way I could use a liveCD of a Linux distro to do that? Because I don't have a GRUB install CD, but I have several distros on hand.

Yes, after the CD load Grub press c to enter command line. This will show you grub prompt
Code:
GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename. ]

You just need the one with Grub bootloader, since some CDs use others such as Slax with syslinux.
You can also press Tab after each ( on the grub prompt. Grub will automatically suggest detected partition(s).
