How can I boot Puppy Linux and Windows 7?

I have Puppy Linux 4.3.1 and Windows 7 Ultimate. I'm trying to get Puppy Linux installed, but it's really confusing. I'll think I've finished it because it says the setup is done, but when I reset it just boots Windows. How can I dual boot?

This is a dual boot program. every time you turn your computer on it will go into it an you can choose which one.

However i have a suggestion. Go to the Ubuntu website and download Ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala. This automatically installs grub when it installs the OS. Plus it is still Linux, and it has tons more support.
