O.P. Solution: Restore Bootloader
Thank you everybody so much for your help. I have now sorted my problem, so I'll post how I did it just in case anyone else has similar problems.
Using the ubuntu Live CD (something I strongly recommend to everyone for such circumstances), I downloaded and burnt to CD SuperGrub, a wonderful tool which can basically force any OS to load. this enabled me to use Windows again. I then rebooted with SuperGrub, and this fixed my bootloader easily from a pleasant menu system. It can restore either the Windows MBR or a GRUB one. This meant that I could use my computer exactly as intended with only Windows. I used Paragon Partition Manager to format the Linux partitions to NTFS, and then merged my C drive into those, without losing one byte of my Windows data!
Thank you again for your help
Robert
