Fdisk can delete the logical partitions, but its a separate option
(delete
logical vs. delete primary). Try DOS's fdisk again, and delete the logical
partitions first, then delete the extended partition (DOS won't let you
delete an extended partition untill all logical partitions in it are
deleted). For the Linux partitions, use cfdisk to create them, not DOS's
fdisk.
