Hmmm, which fdisk, because only the linux fdisk will completely remove the linux partition(s), MS fdisk will not even see the diskspace allocated for it. Simply start a linux install, whatever version, and when you get to the partition section, delete all linux partitions, then exit the install. Then get back to the MS side and fdisk will now 'see' the additional, unused space.

Hope this helps, good luck.
