Did you not install GRUB to the MBR? The last time I did something like this, GRUB still loaded and it allowed me to get into XP; I just couldn't boot back into Kubuntu as the partition has been deleted.

I don't think FDISK can touch partitions other than NTFS and FAT/32. Use GParted with a liveCD or rescue CD to repartition your Linux partition, then reinstall. This should restore GRUB and allow you to boot back into both operating systems without touching the Windows partition. Personally, I have used GParted for years and have not experienced any data loss; the same can't be said for Windows' FDISK which has a tendency to delete logical partitions when I remove a primary partition unrelated to it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
