This happens because windows isn't smart enough to recognize you are using more than one OS. It just assumes it's the only one and overwrites the boot loader. This page should help you fix it.

Get directions from http://apcmag.com/howto_home.htm . My Ubuntu install went great without a hitch. Vista was installed first - it's easier that way.
