DOS fdisk (AFAIK) can delete "non dos" partitions, its just that win9x does not
have an option to do that in its grafical install program, however win9x
install program does give you the option of using fdisk "manually" if a problem
arises.

With all respect if one reads the mail one receives on subscription then it
states "Linux-spesific" questions, the man asked how do i delete my
"linux-partition" so it was a linux question period.
