The fdisk program that comes with Linux can do the job, not the windows
version.
Just run the install again and use Linux to delete the Linux partitions
and all will be well

Ok,
u all saying that fdisk doesnt work. Well, i had to reinstall linx about 6
times, (befor i understeand it) and al the times i cleaned up my disk whit
fdisk. Not that i ame saying that it is a great thing, it is only easy to
use.
What u must do, is firt delete the non logical partitions. then u one by one
and restart all the times. So, u do this 3 times. The swap first then the
other two. Now you can delete windows.
Restart again and se what for size you have now. If all goos good, u have
now one partition. exit fdisk. go to A: . There you type fdisk /MBR to clean
up the Master Boot Sector. To check if you have formated the hole disk, type
in the
a: fdisk /STATUS
this will show what the status is of you hd.

If you did good, you now have one disk.

go here for moor info about fdisk:

it is usefull, i think. It hase moor options that the doc from windoze
documents....

see ya.
