I have 3 partitions on my hard-disk. two are used by windows, and the 3rd is used by linux. The boot is by LILO (I can choose windows/linux). now, I want to remove to linux. How can I do it?

Step 1: Boot your computer with a boot floppy. Step 2: At the dos prompt, type fdisk /mbr. This will remove lilo. Step 3: Next, run fdisk, and remove the unknown partition, and replace it with a dos partition. You can then format the new partition and use it from windows. If you have not used fdisk before, I seriously recommend you get help before trying step 3. YOU WILL DESTROY YOUR HARD DRIVES AND LOSE ALL OF YOUR DATA IF YOU SCREW UP WITH fdisk!!!!! Steps 1 and 2 are (more or less) completely safe. fdisk does not have anything in the way of online help, and is not user friendly, so be careful. Jonathan

DITTO what Jon said. fdisk is not forgiving
