I have been given a link to download EasyBCD, I used it to edit the BCD (Boot Config Data store) which basically edited the MBR
now afer this i rebooted the PC and the boot menu did not show up (the delay time is 30 secs)
seems i have 2 MBR's (1 on each physical hard drive) even though both OS's are on the seperate partition, same physical HDD
