    I can't believe I am seeing this! Last year the approved way to run 
Ubuntu was in dual boot with Grub to Windows. The LiveCD does this 
almost automatically.

    As for loading Windows after Ubuntu, you MUST HAVE partition 1 open 
and you must format the partition with Windows, and if you do that it 
will load easy. I did that on my laptop and it is working perfect in 
dual boot.
