Windows 7 overwrote the linux bootloader with its own. You can add it back using the bcdedit utility.

I have Redhat linux and windows 7 but now when ever I am opening its directly opening Windows not giving any option of selecting Redhat linux. I am getting confused what to do. Shall I boot with my redhat linux cd and select what option. If you guys tell me everything in detail. I would really appreciate as I never done this job before like re-install the linux bootblock(GRUB or LILO bootloader)
