Chad and Arsenic,
With GRUB, nothing happens. It just boots straight into windows without
giving me any other options. When I use OSL2000, it will list my partitions,
but when I click on the desired drive, I get a message saying I do not have an
OS installed which confuses me because of the 45 minute wait it took for it to
get done. Unless, I messed up on an install option which is possible. I put
in long hours and by time I get a chance to play with my computer, I am already
tired.
I'll try re-installing the bootloader to MBR like you guys suggest. If that
doesn't work, I am sure to come back with more questions. Thanks for the help.

What do you mean that neither have worked? What happens? As somebody
else mentioned, it is best to install your bootloader to the MBR, as
Linux bootloaders handle Windows operating systems much better than the
other way around.
