If you are having the Windows restore CD supplied along with the Laptop you can reinstall Windows without loosing any data. Also if you can mount windows partition in Ubuntu the data files can be written to a removable media such as flash drive or CD DVD etc. If you have accidently erased the partition containing data files try to get some expert advice. explore the possibility of editing your grub files with the help of some experienced guys, chances are that you can restore the laptop to the previous state without loosing anything.
