Thank you for posting your question here.

However, your question is a bit unclear. You say, you uninstalled Ubuntu by using Windows CD. Do you mean, you reinstalled Windows, wiping out the entire hard-disk? In that case, Windows should have installed its boot-loader in MBR.

If you followed any other procedure, please let us know, so that we understand your problem correctly.

Hope you continue using and enjoying Ubuntu.

Wubi is a software which allow to install Ubuntu file system inside a NTFS one, which avoid to have to make dedicated partitions to Ubuntu.
The Grub menu file is, in usual dual boot (not Wubi), in a folder named /boot in a Linux partition, so it looks strange. Can you boot on Ubuntu CD, choose option "Try without install", Applications->Accessories->Terminal and post result of command:
   sudo parted -l
where "-l" is lower case "-L". So I will see what is your partition table.
