Actually, the correct (and somewhat safer) procedure is:

1.  Boot into linux (toms rootboot, or other single floppy distro)
2.  Login as root, if required
3.  Run linux fdisk, delete all ext2 partitions (windows fdisk usually does
not
correctly recognize ext2 partitions, and hence doesn't delete the partitions)
4.  Reboot to a windows boot disk.
5.  Run fdisk /mbr.
6.  Reboot to a windows boot disk, run fdisk, create fat32 partition(s) as
you want.
7.  Reboot to windows, format the partition(s) you just created.
