Dual boot with Lindows/WinXP Pro

I installed WinXP Pro on a computer and then used PartitionMagic to create a separate Linux partition. I then installed Lindows on that partition. How do I enable a dual boot system similar to installing two M$ operating systems with Lindows and WinXP? Whenever I start up the computer, it boots directly onto Lindows without giving me an option to boot to either one.

Send a message via AIM to krohnjw
You will be able to set up a boot loader, ie LILO that will give you the option to choose which OS to boot.

Poke around in the "control panel" in lindows, I would imagine they have a graphical tool there.

Thanks. It's my first time using Linux and I'm a fish out of water. I'll post again if I run into any more problems.
