what filesystem did you back your system up to ? v1del did warn you:

My hdd is ntfs, and I think my root is ext4. Will booting into windows and making an ext4 partition on which I can copy the data to work?

no the damage is done, all your filesystem permissions are gone, ntfs does not support linux/posix file permissions, i mean you could technically fix it but it would be a mammoth task, best to just reinstall
