I am a complete Linux Newb, I have little experience with linux, but I’m fed up with microsoft and proprietary software. I have a Sabayon Live CD, but is it worth installing the full 3.9GB version on my laptop? It has all the drivers I need, including the wireless card and touch pad drivers, so I won’t have to install them.

I recently uninstalled a version of linux from my laptop by deleting it’s partition from my hard drive. Now I need to restore the MBR because rebooting my laptop now will result in not being able to load any OS (I’ve done this before). What software can I use to fix the Master boot record (MBR) from within Windows Vista? I really don’t want to use a Live CD but I will as a completely last resort. Thank you.
P.S.: I can’t turn off my laptop until I do so please help!!!
I meant from WITHIN Windows. How come I can fix the mbr from a linux live cd (well not really fix, but change) but I can’t do it from within Windows?
Also I don’t have the install CDs for Vista. I got it new so it only comes with the system recovery discs. Please help!

Yeah I was trying to get the Mandriva One software but I almost downloaded it to my hard drive. I’m very confused about how this all works. Do you download it to a CD? Do you have to actually go out and buy a CD? Can you get a CD for free? I know I know there are a lot of questions here but I’m really new to this and need help!
