It's obvious to me that you are from India or Pakistan. Not because of 
your name, but because your email is in the typical "plz send me the 
codes" style.
See http://forums.thedailywtf.com/forums/p/8039/151285.aspx and 
http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/plz-email-me-teh-codez.aspx

There is even an entire website devoted to mocking your style of email:
http://plzsendmethecode.blogspot.com/

Your ethnicity isn't the issue, it is probably a cultural thing, 
something in the education system in the Indian subcontinent.


To answer your questions:
1. You can only boot into Ubuntu at startup. It is supposed to be that way.

2. That is normal. Do not worry about it. You do not need to open Ubuntu 
files while you are in Windows.

3. Not enough info. Make a screenshot, upload it to your website, and 
send the link to this list.

4. Forget Adept. Use Synaptic.

5. Do not download any software for Ubuntu. Never. Only install software 
that you find in Synaptic.
While this isn't exactly 100% true, you will need at least a couple of 
months or years experience before you use something else than Synaptic 
to install software.
