When you installed windows it wrote over GRUB (the Linux boot loader). You need to reinstall it. See here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202 (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202)

hmm, but i can only start windows. i have reinstall the grub while working in windows, because ubuntu doesnt start, unless i can boot ubuntu from usb drive, and install grub while beeing in ubuntu with usb flash?

As you can read in the Documentation posted by anOdos, you can reinstall GRUB from Live CD --> see section Reinstalling from LiveCD.
Good luck :p

Huh?? You can't reinstall GRUB from inside Windows.
Follow the directions already provided to install GRUB from an Ubuntu LiveCD.
