When I upgrade, will GRUB 2 pick up my Windows partition or will I have to reinstall Windows?

If you upgrade, you won't get GRUB2. You will be left in a "legacy mode". If you do a fresh install, you will get GRUB2.
But you can install GRUB2 in Jaunty.
See my post (number 8 ) here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1299098
Don't reinstall Windows.
Just make sure you don't overwrite it during the partitioning phase of the installation.
To get GRUB2 to pick it up as a dual boot option, boot back to Karmic and do
sudo apt-get install os-prober
sudo os-prober
sudo update-grub2

Thank you QIII. I was worried. I'm getting tired of installing and reinstalling this week.
