Yep, this was me a few weeks ago. I was running widows and linux dualboot on separate hard drives. I decided to reformat the windows drive since I was never using it. Apparently I had installed the bootloader to the drive which windows was on...

Yes. Also happened to me. Linux distros also do this (if you didn't specify a separate boot partition), so next time you need to erase an OS, go into that partition, and remove the folder corresponding to the OS like "Windows" or "Ubuntu".
