You get to that point if you install Ubuntu within Windows using wubi. 
If you simply insert the Ubuntu install CD while you are running Windows 
the wubi installation will be started automatically. And yes, it _does_ 
work in most cases.

Obviously it did work previously, so even if a new installation may be 
necessary (which I don't know) it doesn't have to be on a separate ext3 
partition. Even if you and I prefer ext3, some people prefer the 
installation within Windows to avoid problems from repartitioning the 
disk.
