Dual boot Win 7 and Mind on SSD and HDD

Hello everyone!
I just bought new PC with 60GB SSD and 2TB HDD. I use Linux (Mint 12 distribution for PC) and the rest of my family uses Win (7 Home premium x64). I installed Win on SSD, and Linux on a smaller partition on HDD. Unfortunately I cannot boot Linux, Windows boots automatically and when I switch boot order from SSD to HDD i get something like "boot manager is missing, press ctr+alt+del".
If anyone could propose a solution, I would be very grateful.
Best regards :)
