It would not be the Vista partition's boot sector that would have been
overwritten by Linux's Grub loader, it would be the Master Boot Record
of the hard drive. That is the default location where the Linux installer
puts Grub, and that is why the OP should put Grub in the Linux partition
and let the Vista boot manager pass control to Grub in the case that
Linux is selected by the user.

I want to dual boot a Linux Kubuntu OS. After reading I see that if I decide
to delete the Linux partition later, I won't be able to boot into Widows until
the MBR is repaired/replaced. Is there an easy way to
do this? I have the Oem installation Disk.
