hmm, suspicion is that it can't read the partition that linux accidentally was installed to. When reinstalling windows, try and find a way to tell it to do a new install, rather than a repair, so you could delete and then recreate a partition.

Does mean that if you do have any data files still on the partition, there will be no way of recovering them
