So i reformated my linux partition (smart me) and could not boot into windows. It was linux mint i deleted. I am stuck at the grub screen. If i were to load a ubuntu live cd and install would grub let me boot into windows, or would i need to install linux mint again?
Any linux will do. Though you can google for ways of deleting GRUB. There are lot’s already written (I know since I already had to do it)

You shouldnt even have to install, (though you might) and just leave it intstalled to be safe, (its less than a gig??)

If you have XP put in the XP install disk, go to repair options, and get navigate to the “repair console” which is nothing more than a dos prompt. when you get to the dos prompt type fixmbr and hit enter.
If you have vista , same deal, navigate to the repair console, after booting off the vista disk, when you get to the os prompt, with vista, type bootrec.exe /FixMbr then hit enter.
reboot. It will go right into windows, no more Grub

Any distro will do and yes, afterwards you’ll be able to boot into whatever OS you like.
