Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how to delete Linux partitions from Windows. I tried Partition Magic as well as fdisk but they just show the Linux partitions and won't touch them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to download a program called DELPART and copy it to your DOS bootdisk. Boot to DOS, run DELPART and delete the Linux partitions, then run FDISK to create a primary DOS partition, and then FORMAT the new partition. DELPART is a M$ program intended for deleting NTFS partitions, but it works on anything. You can get it from: http://www.michalferber.com/downloads.asp
