Help with dual boot w7 and ubuntu

[boshuter]

I'm trying to get Ubuntu 14.04.2 to dual boot with W7. I installed ubunto using the "install alongside windows" option. The install seemed to go just fine, then it said I needed to restart my computer. I assumed I would be asked which OS I wanted to boot to when the computer restarted, but mine just keeps booting directly into Windows like it always did. The only thing I see different is the size of my hdd has shrank to reflect the size of the Linux intall.

Can someone tell me what I need to do to be able to boot into the Linux install? (I'm a complete Linux noob, so go slow )

Did a little more reading and it seems I don't have a boot partition for Linux. The only partitions it made were "Linux" and "swap". Not sure if this helps.

Usually it installs GRUB, and takes over the primary boot sector, and then that chains to the Win7 bootloaded on the Windows partition with a menu entry, and loads Linux with a different menu entry.
