You should get partition magic and delete the linux partition and extend your xp (ntfs or fat) Partition to reuse the space. You will also have to modify the master boot record (mbr) to reflect the changes. I think you can do that from within the windows xp command prompt by typing fixmbr.

In XP use the disk manager to remove the linux partitions and reformat them. Then use the XP install CD (or possibly the XP boot loader) to boot into the recovery console and pass the commands "fixboot" and "fixmbr".
