If you only get 1 option for Ubuntu and 1 for Windows then you are only
booting into the Wubi install of Ubuntu - that's the one that sits onto
top of Windows and depends on Windows working properly in order to have
a chance of working.  It's made as a temporary demo of Ubuntu and is a
bit like a house built on shifting sands.  To get the proper install
back please follow this guide

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot#Recovering%20GRUB%20after%20reinstalling%20Windows

Then get back into your Wubi version of Ubuntu to copy all the data and stuff from there onto the proper Ubuntu partition and then follow section 4 in this guide
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
