Sounds like Windows replaced your MBR with its own bootloader.

You need to run grub so it can install its own bootloader in the MBR of
you boot drive.

Something like:

# grub
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit
#

where hd0,0 is the first partition on the first drive. If this is not your
boot drive then use the appropriate device (drives and partitions are
number from 0 so the second partition on your second drive would be hd1,1.

See linux HOWTOs andf RedHat docs for more info.
