After installing redhat, my laptop boot straight to Windows 7

Hi all,

Good day. I just installed RHEL6.3 into my laptop to learn RH.
There is an existing Windows 7 in there.

After installing the RHEL, the laptop will just boot to Windows 7.

I tried to use this BCDedit to add Linux entry to the boot menu, BUT each time i pick the redhat selection, it just reboot and back to the same menu.

Here the detail of my partition:
/dev/sda1 --> is where my Windows 7 resides
/dev/sda2 --> another NTFS partition where i kept all my data files
/dev/sda3 --> here is the location i installed RHEL
/dev/sda4 ---> extended partition
/dev/sda5 ----> here is funny, it says there id =5, if not mistaken, i believe this is the unallocated space but i dun see my swap.

How i go to fix this ? Smilie

I have been going round for hours.

Thank you.
