    You don't need to reformat if you have the windows CD handy you can just start the installer and select recovery mode and go to the command prompt, and run bootrec /fixboot

    Then if you want to recover the space from the linux partitions you can use a partitioning utility to delete the linux partitions and then resize your windows partiton.
