Dual Boot Problem

[Ronan Jouchet]

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!
