Doesn't sound too logical an interpretation. Whether the MBR is
writeable by Linux or not should not depend upon the OS currently
installed.
Check if your BIOS had Virus protection enabled at the time of
installing Linux. In such a case, it would have been the BIOS that
prevented you from writing to the MBR.
