No, if I boot without the thumb drive I only get Windows and if I boot 
with the thumb drive I get the "Unetbootin" screen.  If I leave that at 
the default it boots up Ubuntu.  I can tell it must have booted from the 
thumb drive because there is no logon screen.

 From Ubuntu I can see the Windows files and directories in one 
partition and the Ubuntu files and directories in the other.

At least this time I was able to get the computer to turn off by 
shutting down the normal way.

If in the Unetbootin screen I select "Boot from first hard drive" I get 
some kind of command-line screen.  If I type "exit" the computer hangs 
up with this on the screen:
