Since you don't use lilo but boot magic if you give "fdisk /mbr" you will
not be able to use boot magic because it will be deleted from MBR. Just
remove the entry for Linux from the boot magic configuration. Also you
dont have to boot from an installation CD to delete Linux partitions you
can use Partition Magic or simply fdisk under DOS(it will identify the
Linux partitions as non-DOS).
