Use fdisk or cfdisk or whatever partitioning software you may prefer to
delete the partition(s) occupied by Windows. Then depending on the
physical location of the free space generated by deleting these partitions
and your usage requirements you may:
1. Use fdisk/cfdisk/whatever to create a new Linux partition (which may
subsequently set up with ext2fs, ext3fs or reiferfs) ;
2. Use GNU-Parted to expand an existing partition without blowing away the
existing data.
Note that for some cases GNU-Parted will not be able to extend a
partition. I am sure that the free space must immediate precede or succeed
the partition to extend. I am not sure if the latest version of GNU-Parted
can already move the starting point of a partition. Last time I tried it
wouldn't work, it could only adjust the tail end. :-)
Good luck. :)
