All Linux partitions gone...still getting Mandrake dual boot screen

I just deleted all of the Linux partitions and gave everything back to windows (NTFS) and I reboot the computer and am still getting the Mandrake dual boot screen. How do I get it to go straight to booting windows??? THanks

you need to restore your master boot record with your windows CD. boot to the "recovery console," and type fixmbr at the prompt.
