Formatting a drive doesn't touch the MBR. I was doing exactly that on a
running server last night. Before you start messing with this, make
sure you can not, in fact, boot into your Linux partition.

Boot into your Linux installation using a boot disk or CD, then run either
grub-install
or
lilo
depending on the bootloader you use. You'll probably have to mount your
hard drive after you boot to the disk (assuming you didn't make a boot
disk during installation, which is always a good idea). Then you'll
have to chroot into your mounted hard drive before running the above
commands.
