I would...

find a spare hard drive, put it in the computer as the main on the first primary sata port (or ide port if it's older), then install windows to -that- drive, and after that's done you should be able to view the other drive easily enough to pull the data off to an external USB drive. Then pull everything out, wipe the -somewhat corrupted- drive, reinstall it as the primary and only drive, re-install windows to it...

Should work.

Linux may have changed the partition type from NTFS to Ext4, meaning that Windows will not read that partition at all....depending upon where you left off the Linux install, you may be able to recover the files by completing the Linux install....

If the data is really important - I would suggest trying a data recovery software to save as much data as possible to an external drive.

It is really important to backup all critical data often, especially before making hardware/software changes (like changing OS, doing a service pack update, etc...).
