Oooo, that hurts! I can picture this: you type the command, hit
enter, nothing happens with the floppy drive, you look at the command you
just typed and say, "Oh, shit!"

Is Linux still up and running? (Unless you tried to reboot, I don't see why
it wouldn't be.) If so, I'd make damn sure I saved the remaining bytes from
that Windows partition someplace else. Then you can take whatever time you
need to figure out how to recover the data.
You probably want to post this question to some Windows mailing list, too.
