Agreed.  I also told him this but he is adamant he want to put the CD into the
drive and let it boot from there with no further interaction from himself.

I think he is onto a loosing streak and for the life of me I can not see why
he can't/won't install grub or lilo to the mbr which is the quickest and
easiest options.

You can also install grub on the linux partition instead of the mbr, as Rajko said. It works. The partition is marked active, instead of the windows partition, so the default untouched code in the mbr boots whichever partition is marked active, that happens to be the linux one, containing the grub code, which will put the menu asking which system you want to boot.

If he wants to disable grub, he just has to change the windows partition to be active with a partitioner.

Also, if his machine can boot from the usb, I think you could install grub there.
