Please forgive my ignorance in this problem but, providing that there
are no important files on the hard disc then the quickest and easiest
way of sorting things out is to re-install Windows thereby removing
Ubuntu and then install Ubuntu following the instructions on the screen.
This would give a dual boot system which would automatically boot into
Ubuntu and Windows would be accessed if Esc is pressed when booting
starts and Windows selected from the menu.

I hope this helps.
