You have to install the GRUB bootloader onto the drive that the BIOS
boots from.  It sounds like you've installed it to the second (Linux)
drive, and the PC BIOS is booting from the first one (continuing to boot
Windows, as it previously did).

You can read the grub info file to find the instructions for
re-installing it to a particular drive.  Post back if you need further
assistance.
