It depends on what you have set up now. If you're using something like LILO or GRUB you can still boot into Windows by choosing the windows option in the boot menu.

After you've removed all the Linux partitions, you can use a Windows CD to go into repair console (assuming XP) and run fixmbr to have the MBR replaced to boot straight into Windows.
