Use your boot disk. If no boot disk, use your install CD, and try to use
it to create a boot disk or reinstall Grub.

so if I choose to reinstall some other type of Linux on that partition,
could that be done imediately? need I delete the fiels on the Linux
partition, or use eg. Partition Magic or such?

thanks

... use the distro's install CD and 'boot installed system'. then
use the available utilities to recover the boot entry/loader.
