    Sounds like you somehow loaded Ubuntu and Windows and confused Grub 
the boot loader. I would have thought Windows would have loaded it's 
loader at the same place you loaded Grub. But it looks like Grub is just 
confused and to be honest it is very hard to guess why.

    Please look at the Grub config file which is at /boot/grub/ and 
named menu.lst and read from the top. It explains how Grub works and can 
answer your questions.
