Use any diskette to make a copy of a Windows boot diskette on Windows system. Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Startup Disk tab. Follow instruction on making a boot diskette.
Boot system with diskette. You can then run FORMAT to erase what is on any partition. Or you can run FDISK to remove all partitions and allow Linux to do its thing.
