If you don't want any other GNU/Linux distro anymore, pick your Vista DVD, boot it, go to the repair console and do:

Code:
Bootrec /fixboot
or even

Code:
Bootrec /fixmbr
I never tried this, so I can't guarantee that works.

Check out the SuperGRUB LiveCD. It can be used to easily restore GRUB, LILO, and Windows bootloaders:
