Exclamation Not just XP but also Windows 2000 with boot problems?

I have a problem that I need some assistance on. I recently installed Fedora Core 4 and tried to set it up for a dual boot to Windows 2000 Pro. When I was done with the install I rebooted my machine and to my surprise there was no GRUB, it just booted straight into Windows. There was no error during install, just your typical clean everything install. I am trying to figure out what I did wrong if anything and how to fix it. Any help would be much appriciated.
.
setup:
dual 40gb hdd
amd 2400+
ati radeon 9200se
audigy 2
biostar m7ncd mainboard


p.s.
I was contemplating just switching the cable on my hdd's, trying the windows boot loader, or even reinstalling GRUB or LILO. Any assistance would be appriciated.

did you put grub in the MBR? looks like windows is still controlling that.
