GRUB doesn't show up after installation

[charsta]

Hello there!

So I downloaded Kali 1.0.9a from the site and burned the ISO into a DVD.
Boot to the dvd, followed the instructions from the official documentations on how to dual boot with windows and the installation finished without any errors shown up.
However, when the laptop boots up, no GRUB is shown at any time and it boots directly to Windows. (actually just before windows loads, a message appears (for a second) saying that the disk needs to be checked for consistency).

I searched for some answers but nothing helpful was found. Some suggested to partition the disk using Windows tools (instead of gparted) and then proceed with the installation, but still the same results. Installation finished fine but no GRUB shows up so I can boot into Kali. Tried again but this time using a usb for the installation but still no luck.

Am I doing something really wrong with the installation and I am having these results? Because on my old laptop, following the same instructions and process I was able to install and use Kali just fine.

Please let me know if I am doing something or how can I fix this, as I don't want to use Kali in a VM!

Thank you,
charsta

Make sure that the partition you installed grub on is above the windows partition in your boot order.

My laptop has an ssd 120gb which windows are installed on and an 700gb hdd for data.
I installed kali on the 700gb hhd.
Maybe that's why I don't see GRUB on boot?
If that's the problem how can I change that so grub would be above the windows partition?

Anyhow, I managed to boot into kali using EASYBCD and including kali's partition into the bootloader of windows.
But if there is a better way to do that, I would like to know that!
