Question How can I see Linux on Windows boot menu?

Hello
My harddisk has two partitions. On partition "C" , I have Windows XP installed. And on partition "D" Linux is installed. I can start windows , but can't see Linux XP on my Windows boot menu.(while installing I wanted to see linux boot menu,but later,using windows Fdisk, I activated partition "C".And now I no longer see linux boot menu, furthermore can't see linux on windows boot menu.) What should I do? Please help, Because this is the first time I use Linux..

You will need to reinstall the boot loader (Grub or LILO) on your MBR by using your Linux installation CD.
