So, let me get this straight. You have Ubuntu and Windows installed on your machine. You want to know if you can use Windows and start your existing Ubuntu installation in a virtual machine. Is that it? – Feb 22 '13 at 10:57

If I understood you correctly, you are using multi boot on your computer, and now you want to run your existing Ubuntu installation inside a virtual machine.
Apparently, this is possible with VMware. See if this is of any help to you. From this second hyperlink:
Many users install VMware Workstation on a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer so they can run one or more of the existing operating systems in a virtual machine. If you are doing this, you may want to use the existing installation of an operating system rather than reinstall it in a virtual machine.
