Sorry to say, but I don't think there's any causality here...

but isnt it possible that somehow linux may have somehow changed the configuration of the hardware ?

Yes, this is possible if Ubuntu would have changed the firmware of your webcam. But I think it is a coincident that your webcam has stopped working in windows after installing Ubuntu.

If in case ubuntu chnaged my cam's firmware is there any way to confirm it and if it is so then reverse it?
