Boot Mandrake

I have XPpro on my main SATA HD1, which is what I regularly use. I just installed Mandrake 10.0 on my 2nd SATA HD. I used the default setting when it set up my bootloader. But when I rebooted, it opened straight to XP as usual.

How do I get a boot selection on startup? Or even better, can I make a boot disk- like a floppy or cd that I can use? I am just learning Linux and will only be wanting to boot when I want to play around. All my daily use is on XP and I don't want it to be a hastle every time I reboot my PC.

thx
