>From what I've experienced, the Dos fdisk can remove "non dos" partitions, but
not if they are logical partitions. I would get the problem that fdisk would
say that there are no logical partitions in the extended partition, but it
refused to delete the extended partition because "it contained logical
partitions".

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.
