You will have to install Linux again. But while installing choose only upgrading and just set the boot loader. It' ll not effect ur previous settings. Otherwise I dont think there is any other way because while you install Windows a command "format /mbr" is executed which cleans the master boot record and i suppose it is unrecoverable.
