Perfectly normal. Windows is unable to mount your Linux partitions by standard (although there are drivers out in the ether than provide partial - possibly only read-only - support for Linux various file systems, ext2 ext3 etc).

If you have a desire to run Windows applications while running Kubuntu, I would recommend VirtualBox. Note that while it is possible to migrate your existing Windows to a VM (http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Migrate_Windows) it's a little bit more effort that just performing a fresh install.
