Boot using your RedHat CD1

When you get the prompt type:
linux rescue

When you get to the command line type:
fdisk /dev/hda

Use the p command to list partitions
Use the d commmand to delete the linux partitions listed by the p command.
It is best to start with the highest numbered partition and work your way down.
Use the q command when you are done to save your changes and exit.
