You can't use fdisk to get rid of Linux partitions, though. That will
have to be with one of the commercial utilities if you want to do it from
Windows. I think, though, that I got rid of a linux partition in the past
by using a linux boot disk and using the linux fdisk utility to do it.
It's easy... with a win boot disk do fdisk /mbr that will erase lilo if
it is on master boot record, then go into windows and with partition
magic erase the linux partitions... that's the way I'm use to do...
If something wrong here, someone tell me... but this with me works...

I have 8.2 on one HD and Win2000 on another and duel boot via LiLo.
I now want to remove 8.2 and LiLo and boot straight from the single
Win2000 HD. How do I do that with no/low risk to the Win2000 HD data?
With best wishes,
Dave
