I had ubuntu set up as the only operating system on my laptop, but needed windows for something so I partitioned out space, etc. etc. and installed it. Now whenever I boot my system it boots in windows and not ubuntu and I don't know how to set it to boot in ubuntu.
P.S. There is now message or pop-up or whatever asking if I want to boot in ubuntu.

Start ubuntu in live mode from the installation cd. Run a terminal and execute:
sudo grub
find /boot/grub/stage1
Let's suppose it gives "(hda,b)" as an output.
Execute:
root (hda,b)
setup (hda)
replacing "a","b" accordingly.
Reboot
