Have you figured out if your actual Windows partition exists? If so you can
edit your grub config under /etc/grub and depending on the version the file
will be "menu.lst" or "grub.cfg".

I bought a magazine with an ubuntu 10 DVD and it installed
flawlessly.
Unlike FEDORA it didn't lock me out!
I was even able to install it so it seized the Fedora partition and
sees my Windows partition and the partition configured to be shard
by Windows and Linux for data.
The only screw up was mine. I left the 2 FAT partitions alone
thinking they were Windows but I believe I installed the SWAP space
on the DOS-Window Boot partition.
OOOPS.
I have Windows as a selection in GRUB, (or whatever it is), but it
fails to boot claiming a missing Boot item.
Can anyone suggest a possible for an ignorant person like me remedy,
or can I come to your next meeting and have someone slip a boot
partition in somehow?
By the way, ubuntu is amazing. Updates on installation,
finding new packages is a breeze, found my network (efn/Quest)
connection and even recognized my Mac airport.
It was painless. Even installed a driver to take advantage of my
graphics card.
