Do you have a bootable LiveUSB drive or LiveCD with Ubuntu on it? You can re-install Ubuntu but use the advanced partitioner to specify what partitions to use without formatting. Your data will remain intact. Probably, there's only one main partition on the hard drive, with a swap partition for Linux. In this case your main partition will be /dev/sda
