   No, the reason is because Window’s boot loader does not support any non-windows operating system.

   It is possible to add ubuntu on window’s bootloader entrie, but that just transfer control to grub and then boot into ubuntu. And if you do that a few ability are unsupported (like hibernation)

   That link will allow you to fix GRUB after Windows wipes it out. To be honest, GRUB is the best way to boot into Ubuntu or Windows. Windows doesn’t play will with other and as such their boot loader really isn’t the best way to have a dual boot (windows/linux).

   Here are some tips to make GRUB look more like how you want it:
   * The driver (file that tells the computer how GRUB is to be displayed) is located at /boot/grub/grub.cfg
   * Always backup grub.cfg before editing it so that you can always restore it later if you mess something up.
   * The first entry on the list is always booted first. This should be the OS you want to default load each time you turn on your computer.

   Install Ubuntu inside Windows XP and Vista

   Installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot with Windows without partitioning
   http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/wubi

   You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.

   Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.

   Boot in to windows insert the Ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where the Wubi installer comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Ubuntu (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it.

   Once Ubuntu is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Ubuntu
