Yeah!!!!!

UPDATE

Decided Windows was more important than Linux, so repartitioned, erasing Linux and installed Windows XP. Linux will be installed on a test machine later, which will hopefully become a server.

Took literally 3 hours to get rid of Linux though, as good old Microsoft's fdisk utility refused to remove the non-dos partition, so I had to fill the disk with zeros using the dd command in linux.

Ah well, back on Windows XP now, thanks for everybody's help :)

i could have given you a utility that would erase and format the partition in seconds! you should have asked!

lol, I'll bear that in mind next time ;)

what you COULD have done was take the HD out stuck it in another machine and used partition magic to get rid of linux

I don't have Partition Magic, and I didn't have the time to download the "demo" ;) :D
