It would help if we knew:

* Did you install grub?

* If so, where? To the master boot record (MBR) or the boot record for
  a Linux partition (and if so which one)?

* If the latter, what did you do to ensure that the boot sequence
  would get to that partition's boot record?

* What do you do as the system boots, and what do you see on the
  screen?

* Can you boot Windows? If so do you see any deviations from a normal
  Windows boot sequence? If not, where does it fail and what do you
  see?

* What kind of hardware? That is especially important if this is a
  laptop.

Please give us something to go on.
