okay this should be an easy one I installed easy peasy/ubuntu on an hp laptop running vista as a dual boot. I have done this before with just ubuntu and everything worked fine. unfortunately this time around it will not give the option on which os I want to boot with it just goes right past that screen and boots easy peasy. what am I supposed to hit on keyboard to stop that so I can uninstall easy peasy and get this computer back to normal.

Since you can boot into that special type of Ubuntu, then locate and copy your grub boot menu.lst file, which is here; /boot/grub/menu.lst in that Linux, then post a copy of it here.

Which Operating System does it boot in to?

I think Easy Peasy is an Ubuntu-based distribution optimised for the ASUS Eee PC and other netbooks. So I expect the standard Ubuntu commands will work.

The Grub's configuration file is in /boot/grub/menu.lst which one can edit by the terminal command

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

To get a M$ system boot again is a child play but you need to know where it is residing. You can ask Linux in terminal command to tell you the partition layout by

sudo fdisk -l

The partition with Partition Type ID 7 has a NTFS filing system so it will be the Windows Vista. If this partition is number 1 it will be known to Grub as partition 0 as Grub counts from zero. Assuming there is only one disk then the Vista partition will known to Grub as (hd0,0). These entries in the menu.lst will fire it up

title Vista in 1st partion of 1st disk or sda1 known to Grub as (hd0,0)
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
