Installing GRUB after the OS?
Post Body

Hi people, my desktop runs Linux Mint 17 as the only OS with no bootloader, but as my college uses Windows software not compatible with WINE, I need to install Windows on it (Not to mention Shadows of Mordor is coming out soon, but thats another story). I only have the one hard drive (which, I made sure, has ample space for both OSes), and I'm not quite sure how to install GRUB at this stage, since on all my previous machines with bootloaders I installed it alongside the OS. Can anyone offer some assistance?

Addendum: On further thought I may already have GRUB installed, but dont remember adding it. When I boot my computer, it goes straight into the OS without prompting me to select a system. How might I check whether its there, and if it is enable the list?
