Linux experts?

So I decided to find out what all the fuss about Linux was, and install it on an old XP machine laying about.

Dowloaded Linux Mint 15 and UNetBootin, made a bootable USB stick, installed it on the XP machine alongside the existing XP system as instructed. Got the wireless working. All good, poking around it all seems interesting.

But: can't get the Linux OS to boot -- on boot-up it still goes direct to XP, with no option to choose which OS.

Any ideas? Perusal of Linux support sites immediately leads to solutions in geek-ese. Maybe I'm not geeky enough.
