When you get past the BIOS screen, you should see at the top "Grub stage 
1.5" or some such.  Press the <Esc> key.  You'll have a list of bootable 
OSs.  You can choose by using the arrow keys and <Enter> to select.

There are two choices for your Ubuntu install - regular and recovery 
mode.  It may be easier to fix your Ubuntu install in recovery mode 
(it's like safe mode in windows).

I hope this helps... :@)
