You won't be able to use Windows and Ubuntu at the same time. No. If you are running a dual OS system, the best that you can do is to read/write files from the other OS partition.

Followed instructions, everything went well! Thanks for this how-to. Little trouble with ++g but got it working. Unfortunately, little problem with Ubuntu: "Building and using a custom kernel will make it very difficult to get support for your system. While it is a learning experience to compile your own kernel, you will not be allowed to file bugs on the custom-built kernel (if you do, they will be Rejected without further explanation)" (Taken from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile) Just an FYI.

What virtualbox can do for you is: run the OSes "on top of each other at the same time" (hence you can switch on demand). Example: I have a single boot laptop with Ubuntu on it. I installed Virtualbox and installed Win XP (and others!) in Virtualbox. I can switch between Ubuntu and Win XP by just moving the mouse out of Win XP to Ubuntu.

For the second question, as long as you have sufficient space in your hard disk, you can always install Virtualbox, regardless you are in Windows or Ubuntu.
