Pls advise Ubuntu version, whether you have its livecd available and if
it is Jaunty (9.04), whether you have converted to grub2. More
information is better, not less; eg., if you know partition number of
windows and ubuntu
Don't want to give 2 sets and subsets (if this then this..) of instructions.
