You still have the bootloader in your Master Boot Record.

Depending on what exactly you want to do, and what is currently on the disk you have different options.

If you want to install windows on the drive, it will override the MBR when you do so.

if your disk is now totally empty, and you just want to delete your MBR, you can boot from your linux live-CD and open a terminal and execute the following command:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1

You might need to do this with a sudo:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1

Can you help with this problem?
