Hi James

That depentds on how you install windows. If told to take the entire drive the 
ubuntu will be completely wiped. If told to go for a certain empty partition 
it has a nasty habit of wiping the grub loader and replacing it with its own. 
In the later case you can reinstall just the grub loader and get dual booting 
back

PS
No I'm not talking to myself if anyone was gonna suggest that LOL
