Deleting Linux

[a|A]

Well, Its Time.
I've been using Madrake 8.0 for a long time now, but I dont think it's not used enough to warrant 10gigs of my hdd. I need that back for ... other stuff.

SO! I would like to do the following :

-Delete linux Partition
-Window-ize it ( just make it a spare partition for crap )
-Fix my MBR ( Currently using Lilo )
-Do a little jig

HOW DO I DO THAT !?

I've got some suggestions so far, but an answer from a linux guru would be very helpful.

PS - Just so you know, I've got a 40 gig hdd, 10 gigs for Mandrake 8, and 30 gigs for Windows XP. Dual booting with Lilo.

ok.

Delete Linux:
in windows XP.
Go to disk management. Delete the linux partition. Create a fat32/ntfs partition.

Restoring MBR:
Boot using the XP CD and press R to initiate the recovery console
You'll need the administrator password after you've selected you XP
installation from the list
Run the command FIXMBR

Do a little Jig:
hop from one foot to the other lifting the off foot to your knee

you could also use the mandrake disks to delete and resize the windows partition. Then take a Win 98 boot disk and Fdisk the MBR. Pretty much what Lujan did, just by different means.
