Take a look a this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows

Take note of this part:

"If, after installing grub, Windows does not appear in the boot menu, you will need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst"

And also this part:

"Note: For Ubuntu 9.10 (and later) which use Grub2, there is no menu.lst. You need to run the following command to automatically update your grub configuration to pick up windows. If that fails, you need to manually edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg"
