It seems you have not yet installed Ubuntu.
During installation, a multi-boot software (Grub) will be installed and allow you to boot Windows or Ubuntu.

1) Please download the latest Ubuntu (iso image file)
http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download

2) check the md5sum of the downloaded iso file
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM

3) Burn to a cd ONLY if the md5sum is verified ( see point 2 here )
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto

4) install Ubuntu:
boot your pc entirely from that cd and install Ubuntu

Can you help with this problem?
