Microsofts own suggestion is to:
<copy>
If Linux Is Not Still Installed

NOTE: The following procedure is not supported by Microsoft and is
performed strictly at the discretion of the user. Microsoft assumes no
liability for lost or corrupted data. This procedure should be
performed only as a last resort.

IMPORTANT: Running fdisk /mbr removes the disk signature from the MBR.
If the drive is a member of a Windows fault tolerance set, the drive
is no longer recognized as a member of that set.
1.	Boot to MS-DOS, and then type the following:
fdisk /mbr
2.	Restart your computer. 
</paste>
So yeah make a boot floppy then fdisk /mbr
