Did you use the windows installer or install from the live CD? Do you have more than one hard drive?

It seems like somehow you didn't install the grub bootloader. If that's all that's missing you can just reinstall it:

If you're not sure, you can post the results of the http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ and respond with the address and I'll take a look.

Can you help with this problem?
