With leaving Linux, hard drive issues are commonplace.
Many file systems work in the Linux environment. Some are containerised (much like Apple’s APFS). And having other tools, especially Windows PE, see all various aspects, doesn’t always work.
If various standard tools and installers have issues try
gParted. they also offer a live cd image or live USB.
I’ve used that to recover from Uber borked installs. Just delete all partitions and then create a new one. I suggest using ext3 as the partition and then letting windows do NTFS. The open NTFS library is flaky. Going to true windows should use Microsoft’s own legitimate NTFS platform. Ext3 is ‘supported’ under windows and any windows disc or usb from 7 or later will at the minimum see the drive.
The point of doing a new partition here is to make sure there’s no remanent of any boot loader left behind that’s not overwritten. A minimalist safety net of sorts.
That is assuming you can boot off a USB/live CD.
If you can’t boot off a live disc or USB now, you have a larger issue than a botched OS install. Which would require a bit more digging to look into. And another longer post so try this first.
