To determine if you still have windows installed, it could be helpful to
list the partitions you have on your hard drive. The command to do this
should be
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
assuming that /dev/sda is the name of the hard disk in your computer (as
is likely).

Just to check do you happen to know if you used wubi to install ubuntu?
If you had I believe it would have been done from within windows, I do
not know enough about wubi to tell you how to determine if this is the
case; however, I believe the boot loader would not have been the windows
one rather than grub.
