Oh, don't worry. This is a fairly common problem because of a Windows bug that doesn't allow it to handle other operating systems. So long as you have an Ubuntu Live CD, you can save yourself. Here's a thread on the Ubuntu Forums that should help: <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014708>. Also, why are you using dial-up? If you're in the city, DSL will be cheaper.
