Since Vista and Seven are so touchy (meaning, easily broken), would recommend you install GRUB to the MBR of the Ubuntu drive.

You will then have to create a stanza in the menu.lst file for MS Windows,
but that's pretty easy to do.

Once you get into Ubuntu, open a terminal window and enter "sudo fdisk -lu" (that's a lowercase L, not a one) and post the results here. That will list your partitions and is needed to figure out the details of the MS Windows boot stanza needed.
