dual booting is easy..delete the d partition..open disk management and do it..it should be showing free space..now boot with the ubuntu cd and select use free space option in the partition manager..

It's rather simple, download EasyBCD on vista and add Ubuntu, it's a simple GUI based boot editor with many advanced features.
