Linux boot loader

I have split my HDD in 3 and install XP Pro, then Vista then install CENTOS last.

Now it didnt install a boot loader so now I can boot into Vista or XP Pro.


How do I now install a bootloader?

I thought Linux will automatically install a bootloader in the end of Linux's installation?

First, is this your first attempt at linux? below is tutorial on setting up grub for dual booting

Don't worry about your windows install they are still there, you just have to show linux where to look.
