Why has Linux deleted my partition?

Linux will not delete a partition unless you tell it to.

The program "testdisk", found on many Linux LiveCDs and partition editors, can restore the deleted partition flags.

How do you remove Linux without removing windows?

Insert your Windows CD or DVD and get to the part where it shows all your partitions and delete the Linux partitions.

You are running Linux and had vista as well but now you want vista off how do you do that?

You could do a couple of things. I think the easiest would be to use the CD you installed Linux with to delete to partition that Vista is sitting on. Or you could download a partitioning tool and remove the partition that way. It all boils down to removing that partition though.
