The reason is simple: Microsoft just doesn't bother whether there are other OS 
installed. You even don't have any chance to avoid Windows behaving like 
this.

You don't have to reinstall everything now - your ubuntu is still there. You 
just have to reinstall your linux boot loader, most likely grub. You can do 
that by booting with a Linux LiveCD, e.g. with Knoppix.

For the exact procedure please google a bit. Normally you just have to boot 
with a LiveCD, mount your boot-partition (where /boot is located) and invoke 
grub to reinstall itself.
