Hi,
First of all , open a terminal (ctrl+alt+t combo keys) and do this
Then you can install a package that will allow you to modify your grub-bootloader . Its easy to use.
Open a terminal (ctrl+alt+t combo keys) and apply bellow commands
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
Open grub-customizer and change your settings according to your preferences.
And here is a great how-to for grub-customizer : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1664134 , to take advantage all of the features.
Thanks

mean that in the installation you told it to use the entire disk for ubuntu, not dual install for dual boot? If so, then you probably don't have a partition with Windows installed on it now. Boot up ubuntu, go to disk utility, and see what partitions are defined. Do a screen print of this and attach it back in a reply here. Don't do anything is in disk utility - just display, print screen and exit.
