FYI 9.04 is not supported anymore (no more security updates)

The problem is likely to do with the windows boot manager timeout being set to 0.
Right click on My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Startup and recovery settings. Make sure the timeout is 15 or 30. Also while you're there make sure there is an entry for Ubuntu in the drop down box. (Do not set Ubuntu as default).

If there is no entry for Ubuntu, copy and paste the contents of C:\boot.ini here

Can you help with this problem?
