Windows only hides the boot. Press the <esc> key and it kills the splash 
screen.

Why does it matter. I start a boot and go get a cup of coffee, it is 
always finished when I get back. It is only a problem if you make it 
into one :).

There isn't one. Unix fixes fragmented files without your help. The only 
thing you need to know is "fsck -y" from single user mode to fix a bad 
shutdown.
