Your OS wasn't deleted, just the files the computer needs to recognize that the OS is actually there and the instructions to boot it up (the master boot record) were corrupted. The computer "couldn't see" Windows actually being there.
That's what the steps I posted address if you can't deal with doing a fresh install and losing your data.
Of course a fresh install will overwrite everything and create a new MBR in the process.
