Do an fdisk(linux version), delete everything you don't want (linux parts,
swap space), msdos fdisk to recreate, format, install windows.
There is some danger in this process, losing data, wasteing hard disk
space, wasting resources, crashing your machines, and these dangers only
deal with windows after it is installed!! :) But seriously, backup all
the files you want to keep! Before trying anything.
If that doesn't work you can use partation magic, a REALLY nice program,
able to deal with alot of file systems, but it's not free, nor can you use
it in linux, but if you can't firgure out fdisk, this program might be
easier to use, point and click sort of thing.
FIPS is free, does the same things and can find it on the net easyily, it
is supose to leave you data in tack, if you just want to resize a part.
I once too also had to reinstall M$ windows, those men in black suits can
be very convicing when they have the place surrounded.
Just yanking your chain, I like Mr. Bill
