Hello Mischa,
The menu may be hidden. Try hitting/holding shift during the boot
process, this could make the GRUB menu appear.
Then, to solve the problem and change which system booted by default,
1. Have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto and
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 . From your description, you
should have Grub1, but be sure of it.
2. Then depending on your Grub version you'll have to adjust a
menu.lst or a grub.cfg and run some grub-update like commands. Again,
see the wiki which has detailed instructions.
Tell us whether this helped and if you have additional questions. Also
for such issues, IRC can be a great place for more interactive help, in
#ubuntu or #ubuntustudio on irc.freenode.net . Good luck!
