Charles, Actually, you won't be able to remove the ext2 partitions with windows fdisk.
What needs to happen is boot using something similar to tom's root / boot disk (link should be off the "distribution page" of linux.org) or into your linux install, run linux fdisk as root, remove all ext2 partitions. Boot into windows, run 'fdisk /mbr' (note, this is windows fdisk) -- at that point, you will have cleaned linux off your computer completely. This is, of course, the same set of instructions that civilme and myself have sent to the list countless times.

If it were me, I'd probably end up having to boot up with Windows boot disks and use Fdisk to reformat the drive and reset the partitions. Or, if you have Windows still installed and accessible, you can wipe out the Linux partitions with the disk manager and reformat them to FAT or whatever you are using, and then reinstall Linux.

Then if anything goes wrong, you can put in the Ghost boot disk and the CD you made, and return everything the way it was in 15 minutes.
