With Ubuntu installed how do you install Windows back when the Windows install disk does not boot but the ubuntu disk does?

You would need to create a partition to install Windows to. Or you can run it in a virtualized environment using Virtualbox by Sun Microsystems. With virtualization you can run Windows or another operating system (OS) of your choice on top of Ubuntu. Of course with either method you will need an install disk of Windows. If you choose to do what is called a "dual-boot" from what I described earlier, you will like I have stated, create a partition into which you will install Windows to. Be careful though when you are working with partitions as it is best to backup all of your data in case of complications. To create a partition from within Ubuntu you may use a program called Gparted. You can install that through your "Applications" -> "Add Programs".

Which RAM does any OS in VirtualBox use Does VirtualBox create a virtual memory or use the same RAM of the host computerfor e.g if I have 8 gb RAM in my system, and I have assigned 4 gb RAM in virtualBox to other OS, then will it use systems RAM?

VirtualBox doesn’t have a virtual memory. Instead, it creates a virtual hard drive as a file in your file system, and when it boots up the virtual machine, it loads the entire virtual machine into RAM. This is the same way VirtualPC used to operate. The difference is that VirtualPC did things a bit differently. When you installed Windows on a VirtualPC machine, you were actually installing the entire operating system into a virtual hard drive file. It then used the same RAM you gave it to actually load the operating system into RAM. The virtual hard drive file was quite large, and when your computer rebooted, it had to reload the entire operating system again. VirtualBox is different in that it only loads the operating system into RAM when you actually boot up the virtual machine. This means that you don’t need to leave 4 gb of RAM free when you boot up Windows XP, or whatever else you’re running in VirtualBox. It also means that if you reboot your computer, you don’t have to wait for VirtualBox to load your operating system again. It eliminates the lag time that VirtualPC was notorious for.
