After installing Ubuntu, I can no longer boot into Windows. This issue was detailed here.

I've basically given up on accessing windows on this laptop again.

I would now like to know if there is any way I can check if the files on that windows partition have been wiped unintentionally during the dual boot installation process, or if I can access or restore that partition somehow from within Ubuntu (or any other way).

There is no 'mount' option available for that partition in gparted.

I'm not sure if there is any software available in Ubuntu for accessing files on such partitions, but I'm open to any suggestions.

I would suggest Testdisk. It is a cli tool and you would have to read a couple how-to/turorials, but for partition/file recovery it is the tool most likely to get you the results you want.

To install it:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install testdisk

"Quick Scan" instructions -->

Choose Create on create a new log file.

The drive your partition was/is on when asked to select a media

Intel on partition table type,

and then analyse.

When the list appears, do [Quick Search].

Good luck ;)
