Well, I am assuming you are using a dos-based windows.  

1. Make a DOS boot floppy if you don't already have one

2. Boot into linux and login as root.

3. If you are in console mode, stay there.  If you are in some desktop, open 
up a terminal.

4. from the command line

# fdisk /dev/hdb

or hdc or hdd, whichever is the linux disk

p                prints the artition table on the screen

d                 deletes a numbered partition

keep on with p and d until all linux partitions and any extended partition 
enclosing them are gone.

w                writes out the partition table to disk

Then put your DOS boot floppy into the machine and 

# reboot

When you get the A:> prompt from DOS

A:> fdisk /mbr

And yes the forward slash is correct.

Remove the floppy and reset, Now you can use windows fdisk to partition the 
space where linux was, and FORMAT E: ,etc to format the partitions you make.

Then no part of your computer will belong to you any longer, but If that is 
what you choose, so be it.
