For safety's sake of Win98 I'd boot to DOS. Then issue commands:
cd \windows\command
fdisk /mbr
That should restore the mbr to boot dos/win. From there you can take care of
removing Linux.
(all i seem to get with format /mbr is ``invalid switch - /mbr`` perhaps this
works with other versions?) (I'm running win95 OSR2 4.00.950B)
