>How do I access linux?
 
Well, seems your Boot Loader isn't installed to the MBR.
okay, all you have to do is;
 
insert the 1st CD and choose "Upgrade"
and DO NOT select any packages to install
and @ the configure pannel, select either LILO or GRUB and install it on the MBR.
(you can find the steps easily from the wizad)
 
That's it..!!

I have an Elonex Pro wire 150-2 laptop, Intel Celeron M 1.3G, 496MB RAM, 80G hard drive, built in wireless (broadband) and am currently running Windows XP.
 
I downloaded Mandrake 10.1 and ran through the installation and all seemed well but when I restarted, Windows appeared as normal?
 
I had created a new partition for linux alongside the existing Windows one and expected to get a choice of which OS to use on startup.....but didn't
