Gives you the option to delete partitions.
If it's a dual boot box you can use the repair console and try running fixmbr to sort it out.
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

If it was me, I would just delete the partition and/or remove the appropriate filesystems.

Just change your BIOS settings to boot from the appropriate disk.
This is quite useful as it meant I could look at old Windows documents etc (all Windows systems are accessible from Linux, but not vice versa).
Totally secure MBR too!
