That's a Linux boot loader, not a Windows boot loader. Sounds to me as if
you have an incompletely deleted/formatted Linux partition hanging around
that needs to be gotten rid of.

Hi Mahinda--

It's as Richard Harper says--

Get rid of your Linux boot. However, drilling into your problem pratically
while Richard Harper correctly tells you to format Linux, you may not be
able to if you can't boot to either it or Windows to format Linux on some
drive or the one you want to work.

You have two choices and can do it easily with them.

1) You can use Startup Repair from the Vista DVD and choose the command
prompt and use Diskpart to format the drive.
If you don't have a Vista DVD, no problem, simply download the .iso from
this link and burn a Startup Repair Disk.

The menu you access from the Startup Repair Disk or the Vista DVD if you
have one looks like this:

http://vistahomepremium.windowsreins...airstartup.htm

Or a very handy tool to use that I've found will add partitions, reduce the
size of partitions or format your drive or box within literally seconds is a
Live Disc from Linux Gnu called G-Parted. You can download the .iso for it
and burn it from this link. It is a very powerful tool, more capable than
Vista/Window 7's Disk Management tool or Diskpart in those OS's because it
can do more things and it can do them much faster, and it's free. If you're
not used to Linux, you'll find the interface a bit daunting, because it's
difficult to see, and there are many options couched in Linux terms, but
it's still easy enough to use to format. All you do is put the live disk in
once you've burned and it will find all your drives and you can right click
the one you want to format.

G-Parted (a Diskmanagement Tool From Linux that does a number of things that
Diskmanagement in Vista and Windows 7 Can't Do)
