Do you have any other OS loaded on your system?
If u are on Windows XP, run "diskmgmt.msc" (without quotes) and format the Linux Partitions.
Now boot from your Windows XP CD and from the recovery console, issue the command "FIXMBR".

the safest option is to use tools like partion magic.
also use MBR with a graet caution else will end up losing ur data.
