I had Lindows multi-booting with a few MS systems, and everything was working fine. It
initally gave me a choice between Lindows or XP on boot, then if I chose XP, it then gave
me the choices of MS systems. I made the mistake of adding another MS system, and the
installation process walked on the boot mechanisim. Now I just get the standard MS option
screen.

Is there a way to restore my Lindows startup without re-installing the whole OS?

Depending on whether you were using lilo or grub, you should google for how
to install it. Then you should come back here for clarification of those
parts of it that you can't get on your own. Then you should write it all
down because the same thing is sure to happen again.-)
