When you first install Ubuntu, it will walk you through the steps to install it and keep your other OS installed. Then when you boot your dual-boot system, you can simply select Ubuntu.

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".
