DOS FDISK will not delete a non-DOS partition. I don't know how NT and W2K deal with this, but I expect they may operate the same way. You have to remove the Linux partition with Mandrake, from which it is very easy, and then you can do FDISK /MBR to remove the Linux boot manager. Then you can set up a Windows partition. Some third-party tools will also delete non-Windows partitions. --Judy Miner
