Grub2 shows a boot menu if it detects more than one operating system. Otherwise it is hidden as you say. In this case it's detecting his WinXP partition and therefore showing a boot menu.

That presented their information, and were so terribly wrong. These people are still affecting public policy. They are still considered experts. I'm sorry, shouldn't there be a rule or law that says if you fuck things up so badly, you can no longer be considered an expert?" -- Tim Robbins -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
