Dear All :
I used to have a 40 GB HDD , with 3 partitions ,,
C , D for Windows ..
and 5 GB For Linux ..
And I used GRUB as my Operating System Startup Boot Utility..

I used Partition Magic , and I removed the 3rd Partation of the Linux ..

Now the GRUB can't find the Linux Partation , and it gave me the Grub Command Shell ...
Any idea how can I remove it from the MB Record ?
and how can I boot using Windows Boot Utility ?

Windows emergency boot disk
Fdisk or Fdisk /mbr

You could also re-install windows from scratch and that should do it.
 
If you don't have a Windows boot disk, and you don't want to reinstall it altogether, you could also reinstall Linux, grab this, use it to restore the MBR and then remove the Linux partition (after you know you can boot Windows).
